"For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."       


 

The First Letter of Saint Paul to the Church at Corinth, First Chapter, verse 18

( Commonly abbreviated as 1 Cor 1:18 )

 
 
Welcome to confirmation for the year 2015-2016!  This year's class includes:

6th Grade:  Savannah Anderson, Megan Miller, Maggie Hamlin, Michael Stalker, and Ben Crawshaw
7th Grade:  Bryce Arp and Spike Roberts
8th Grade:  Ben Scheel, Laura Scarbeck, Katie Scarbeck, and Eric Carlson

Pastor Lyla Harold may serve as visiting faculty as needed from time to time!

This year's schedule and curriculum are posted to the Resources webpage. Our 8th grade class will affirm their baptism on Pentecost which is Sunday 15 May 2016.

Our first event is the convocation prayer at worship on Sep 6th with the Congregation Council for all of us as we begin our studies.  All confirmands especially the 6th grade class -- should try to be at that worship service.  The Congregation Council will present a Lutheran Study Bible to each incoming 6th grade confirmation student.  Look for more information on how this will be done in future e-mails.

After that, our first large group session will be on Sunday Sep 13th at 9:45 AM in the Sanctuary. Sunday Sep 20th we will again meet at 9:45 AM in the Sanctuary.  After that, we'll settle into our normal routine of meeting in the conference room for the first 15 minutes on Luther's Small Catechism followed by 30 minutes of small group time.  In small group, 6th grade studies the Old Testament, 7th grade studies the Gospels, and 8th grade studies the Acts of the Apostles through Revelation. 

Because Christ is Risen, we believe in 
+ God the Father, 
+ God the Son, 
+ God the Holy Spirit!
We look forward to starting this year of learning together!
