Confirmation Updates: September

*No class tonight 9/18*

Mission Trip Forum this Sunday 9/22

Students who went on the Summer 2024 Mission Trips to Milwaukee and the ELCA Youth Gathering in New Orleans will be sharing reflections from their trips this Sunday in Luther Hall from 9:45-10:45am. Come support these middle & high school students and hear how students serve and grow in their faith on Faith's mission trips.

Mission Trip Announcement Wednesday 9/25 -

Parents Attend 7-7:30

Please plan to come to class with your student next Wednesday for the first 30 minutes of our time. Deacon Kayla and I will be sharing essential information about the summer 2025 Mission Trip with all middle and high school students and parents at this time. We will also announce the location for the June Mission Trip! Planning for these trips begins early; we value your attendance as we share important details about the trips so you can consider participating in these meaningful faith experiences.

Acolyte Training Sunday 10/6

Acolytes are youth who serve in worship by helping with things like processing with the cross and serving communion. 7th and 8th graders serve as acolytes as part of Confirmation; this is a time to learn more about worship, encounter God in worship, and be a leader! We will teach students everything they need to know to serve in worship on Sunday October 6 during Forum. Watch for an email following the training to sign your student up for Sundays to acolyte.

Please complete the yearly registration form if you haven't yet. Registration includes a Medical Release and Permission Form, which are required to participate in special events and trips later in the year.

Remind texts

If you haven't already signed up for Remind texts, you should have received an invitation text to join the 24-25 Confirmation Group earlier today. I use this texting app to send timely reminders and share any last-minute changes you need to know. If you didn't get an invitation, you can sign up by texting 81010 with the message @faithconf4.
