Connecting through Confirmation
Confirmation, the time when a young person affirms his or her faith, cannot only happen in a classroom in your congregation. In order to fully understand their calling as Christians, confirmands must get out into this world to be the hands, feet, ears and hearts of Christ to others. Our synod’s youth ministry and Liberty Lutheran Services, an umbrella Social Ministry Organization in our territory, believe this so strongly that we have partnered to create hands on learning opportunities for confirmation classes to engage in social ministry.
What to Expect
Each of our sites and opportunities will obviously differ in content, but all events will include the following - An engaging leader from the ministry to host the group for the day, share the mission and ministry of the organization and introduce confirmands to the population that ministry serves; An educational or servant activity that helps confirmands understand the ministry, most often with the clients of that ministry; devotional time; opportunities for participants to hear the stories of those served by the organization; a meal.
The Details
- One adult must register for every seven youth participants
- Cost for these events is $7 per person. Scholarships are available through the synod - application at www.sepayouth.org on the resources page.
