Confirmands embrace Alpha Youth Series

Jun 09, 2023

PETALING JAYA: The Church of the Assumption organised a Confirmation Camp 2023 for 65 confirmands on May 13 and 14. The Alpha Youth Series was included in the formation.

 Confirmand Rufina Lazarus said, “The Alpha Youth Series was a new thing for me. I’ve heard of Alpha, but a specific Youth Series was new. Alpha as the main topic for confirmands was an eye-opener for me and many students at the camp. All the videos had different values and teaching, for example — how to pray, how to read the Bible, and so on.

“As teenagers of this generation, we are not used to reading the Bible daily, but through the camp, I learnt that the Bible and the Word of God will help me. There was a question posted — “Do you get whatever you pray for?” and it made me realise, yes, I do get the things I pray for. Maybe not at the very next moment, but a few months down the road, or maybe even a few years, I see my prayers answered.

“The Alpha Youth Series is definitely a wonderful programme for youths to get to know their faith in a more meaningful way, as an individual, and as part of the Church community. I'm thankful to our catechists for arranging Alpha Youth as the topic for the confirmands.”

Note: The main building of the Church of the Assumption is currently closed for renovations. All Masses, events, and activities are held in the Assumption Family
