Confirmation

Sponsorship through Compassion

Confirmation students have the privelege of sponsoring two young people through a ministry called Compassion.  Everything that students bring for an offering each week goes to support these two very special individuals. We encourage students to sacrifice a part of their own “wealth” to help others in this way.

CURRENT STUDENT INFORMATION

2011/2012 Schedule

2011/2012 Registration Form

NEW – MENTOR program. We are starting a new mentor program this year in Confirmation. We intend to match up students one-to-one with either an adult or a High School student. Rather than meeting in small groups we will instead have students talk and do activities with their mentor on some Wednesday nights. Students meet most every Wednesday during the school year from 6:15 – 7:30. Mentors will meet with us for the first six weeks, then for seven additional weeks throughout the year.

2011/2012 Confirmation Electives

STARTING NOVEMBER 2nd: Confirmation Electives! Look at the electives offered above and rank them in the order you would like. No guarantees, but we will give you one of your top choices whenever possible.

At 7:30 Confirmation students are encouraged to attend a half hour worship service that is geared towards students their age or slightly older. Mentors, families, High School students, and anyone else who is interested are encouraged to join us.

For the 2011-2012 Confirmation year students will spend about half the year learning from the Small Catechism. The other half of the year will be broken up into a variety of topics that deal with specific areas of interest for Middle School students and families.

Materials for previous years are included below. Students worked on two packets in 2009/2010, while in 2010/2011 they had a few questions to answer for the nightly material that was covered. 2010/2011 materials can be found on this page.

A Quick View Of Confirmation At Our Savior’s

The Confirmation program at Our Savior’s is a three-year program for students in grades 6 – 8. We try to allow for both large-group activities as well as individual or small group work and discussion.

Materials that we study varies each year. While this year our focus is on materials from the Small Catechism, other years we concentrate on either the Old Testament or the New Testament.

Some nights will be scheduled service events or fellowship nights, which are great opportunities to connect with each other, and to make a difference in our community.

Students are confirmed in September of their 9th grade. The Confirmation service is scheduled for the fourth Sunday in September, which means the current Confirmation class will be confirmed on September 25th, 2011.
