I am so excited for eleven of our youth who will be starting confirmation soon! We have made some changes in our congregation's program of confirmation ministry. The changes include:
1) Beginning a 3 year confirmation ministry that includes 6th graders through 8th graders (Parents work with 6th grade confirmands)
2) Pairing a confirmand with a mentor.
3) Using a Hybrid Faith Formation hybrid approach (in person/online) for 7th and 8th grade confirmands.
4) Using Manna and Mercy, a Brief History of God's Unfolding Promise to Mend the Entire Universe, book; Martin Luther's Small Catechism, and
some supplemental materials (7th and 8th grade confirmands).
5) Using The Lutheran Handbook, Martin Luther's Small Catechism, and some supplemental materials (6th grade confirmands).
Confirmation kicks off on Wednesday, September 15 at 7 PM with parents, confirmands, mentors and pastor. There will be a dinner and fellowship for parents, mentors, 6th grade confirmands, and pastor on Wednesday, October 27. Time to be determined.
Please pray for the confirmands as they embark on learning about the Christian faith, Lutheran theology, and the life and mission of the Christian faith.
Growing in grace,
Pastor Sandra +
