Affirmation of Baptism Ceremonies

May 19, 2012

Confirmation marks the completion of the congregation’s program of confirmation ministry: a period of instruction in the Christian faith as confessed in the teachings of the Lutheran Church. Those who have completed this program are made members of the Church in Baptism. 

Confirmation includes a public profession of the faith into which the candidates were baptized, thus underscoring God’s action in their Baptism. These persons have been instructed in the Christian faith and desire to make public affirmation of their Baptism. 

Together we rejoice in their decision to continue in the covenant God made with them in Holy Baptism: to live among God’s faithful people, to hear His Word and share His supper, to proclaim the good news of God in Christ through word and deed, to serve all people following the example of our Lord Jesus, and to strive for justice and peace in all the earth!

Pictures and Practice

May 16, 2012

Come dressed appropriately for the photo. Confirmands will be wearing a white robe; however, the lower legs and shoes will show in the photo. Pictures begin at 6:00 p.m. sharp! Parents will have an opportunity to take photos of their child with the pastors, small group, and friends after the professional photographer is done. We hope that all guides and leaders will participate in this fun night as well!
