CONFIRMATION
A two-year confirmation program led by Pastor Raabe is offered for youth in grades 6-8 at Grace. Students are invited to participate in a program of learning, reflection, congregational participation and service with other members of the congregation and the wider church.
Confirmation meets this year on second and fourth Sundays at 9:15 a.m., during the Sunday School hour. This year’s focus is on “Lutheran Living,” Unit 4 in the Sparkhouse series from 1517 Media. Topics include justification by faith, law and gospel, the freedom of a Christian, the neighbor, grace, vocation, worship, the devil and doubt. The format is lively discussion. What do these words mean to us today and how are they part of faithful Lutheran living?
Youth are also encouraged to worship regularly and participate in Sunday morning worship leadership roles including lector, crucifer, and acolyte. Upon completion of the program, youth will affirm their baptism by the Rite of Confirmation on Reformation Sunday.
