Christ is risen!
In the Anglican tradition, we do not say alleluia during Lent but it returns at the Easter Vigil with great joy. It is a song in my heart today.
During the Great Vigil of Easter our youngest, Miss R, was confirmed.
Miss R has Down syndrome. In case anyone wonders how she was prepared for her confirmation, I used materials from Bethesda Lutheran Services. They have a confirmation curriculum for people with special needs as well as many other materials (some materials are free) that target the spiritual needs of a generally underserved population. Take a look at their resources in the special education and disability ministry catalog.
As with most learning materials, I needed to adapt to meet her specific needs. My daughter is a very hands-on, visual learner so to add interest we made (together) visuals to help her remember what we had worked through. A little more adaptation was needed to bring in our Anglican faith.
