During worship, the children will be invited to the front of the sanctuary for a short message by Pastor Scott. Currently the Pastor is telling the children about the bible stories that everyone should know. Each week the children leave with a little nugget of information that will remind them of God's Love and how they can bring God's love to action in their own lives.
Children are invited to attend First Communion classes in the spring of 3rd or 4th grade. Confirmation preparation will now include Grades 6 -8. Pastor Scott teaches them about the items in the altar area, why we have them, and what the bread and wine mean. He also explains they will be able to serve as acolytes and what’s involved. First Communion is held on a Sunday near the end of May.
Confirmation classes span two years, 7th – 8th grades. In the fall of 9th grade, the confirmands meet with our Pastor for about eight weeks. Confirmation is at the end of October on Reformation Sunday. As part of the ceremony, confirmands say how they will be involved at church, such as reading the lesson during worship or working in the food pantry. Confirmands are adult members of the congregation and are encouraged (not forced though!) to take up duties that appeal to their talents.
