FAITH FORMATION

Faithful Families gather for faith formation in a variety of ways.

Sunday School for children ages pre-school and grade school will gather during worship. The children will come forward for a Time for Children with Pastor Kristine, before gathering in Fireside Room for a lesson and an activity, returning to worship for prayers and holy communion.

Confirmation

Our Confirmation program 2024/2025 will begin in the fall. Students in grades 6 and 7 will gather with Pastor Kristine weekly for a time of learning, serving and activities.

High School Youth

Youth went to New Orleans in July to gather with 15,000+ youth for the ELCA Youth Gathering. Under the theme, Created to Be, we explored being free, brave, authentic, disruptive, disciples! We traveled by bus with other youth from the synod to grow and learn together. Thanks to all who have contributed their empty cans to our recycling project, this is what made it possible for us to finance our trip.

Adult Bible Study

This summer beginning Thursday, June 6, we will gather for Bible Study at 1:00pm in the Fireside Room. Our Bible Study will be our of John's Gospel with a focus on Jesus' "I Am" statements. Each week we will explore a different "I Am" text so you can come to any week's study and fit right in! Read the assigned passage before coming or come and learn as we go.

June 6: John 6:35-51, I am the bread of life

June 13: John 8:12-20, I am the light of the world

June 20: John 10:7-18, I am the good shepherd

June 27: John 11:1-57, I am the resurrection and the life

July 11: John 14:1-14, I am the way, the truth, and the life

July 25: John 15:1-17, I am the true vine

Whether you are young or not so young, we are continually in the process of forming our faith as we gather for worship, gather to learn about God, or find time within our daily schedule for prayer for yourselves and the needs of others. God is present with us at every age, encouraging, inspiring and nurturing our faith!
