Confirmation
Confirmation started on September 23, 2020, for students in the 6th through 8th grade with 12 students in attendance. Meetings are being held on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the months of September through April. Meetings are being held from 6:00 to 7:00, with some students attending in person and some remotely because of the current pandemic. The confirmation program continues to be a three-year rotational pattern of Old Testament, New Testament, and Lutheran Confessions, with this year’s meetings focused on the New Testament. Our first week session focused on the background and books of the New Testament, and how the New Testament relates to the Old Testament writings. My thanks to Tammy Gregerson for assisting me in these efforts. See pictures below from the first class.
