Welcome to the blog for Sealed and Sent Forth! We’re 8th and 9th graders in a yearlong program preparing for confirmation at the Episcopal Church of the Ascension, Dallas, Texas. We meet every Sunday from 9:02 to 9:50 am in the meeting room of the Youth House at Ascension. We also sometimes get together for other special events outside Sunday mornings … check out the “Calendar” link above for the latest.

Watch this page for photos, movies, and other interesting stuff we come up with throughout the year!

Here they are: the long-awaited masterpieces from our special lunchtime session last Sunday.

First of all, if you don’t know what “sweding” means, you really need to go here first and watch the trailer for Be Kind, Rewind. Then prepare yourself to be, um, educated about the Old Testament in a whole new way.
