A New Milestone: Healthy Pre-schooler
We want to help give parents tools to help their children grow both physically and spiritually. This milestone has three classes with the first one focussing on physical development, the second is emotional development, and the last one is spirititual development. We want to not only focus on the kids, but the needs of the parents as well. We will be holding these classes again next October
1st Communion
We hold a class for 1st graders (or older) and parents to attend were we teach them about what communion is, how we take communion, and show them how it all works. We celebrate 1st communion in the Fall. Our next class will be in September of 2010. Come back and look for more information soon.
3rd Grade Bibles
We like to recognize our 3rd graders by teaching them how to use their Bibles. We hold one class and go over what stories are in the Bible. We will be having another class in August 2010 and 3rd graders will receive their Bibles the following Sunday. Please come back for more details.
Confirmation
Youth who are in 7th-8th grade are invited to participate in our confirmation ministry. As Lutherans, we believe in the baptism of children as God showing his grace to us. So when children are in middle school (7th & 8th grade) they attend our two year ministry every wednesday night throughout the year to learn more about what Lutherans believe, the Old Testament and New Testament, and much more. Then after they have finished their second year, they are invited to reaffirm their baptismal vows and profess that they do agree to and will do what their parents and sponsors had said for them when they were baptized earlier. Confirmation has begun and all are invited. If you are interested in participating in this ministry, please contact Michelle in the church office or at michelle@newhopelc.org.
