Confirmation 2007-2008

Confirmation Ministry at Evergreen Lutheran Church is a three-year learning ministry for our middle-school age youth which includes 6th - 8th grade Sunday School (9:15 a.m. on Sundays) as well as Wednesday evening "Confirmation Classes"(6:00 p.m.). The purpose of Evergreen's Confirmation Ministry is two fold: 1) to help our young people prepare themselves for a public affirmation of th faith into which they were baptized (confirmation) and, 2) to train our young people to be leaders in and for the church.

Dinner at Confirmation

The current plan is to provide a light supper for our meal at the beginning of class. Parents will be asked to provide food for the kids and adults that gather for confirmation. In addition to the kids (about 40), there will be at least 6 adult teachers present for dinner.
Below is the dinner schedule. You need Acrobat Reader to view it. If you haven't signed up yet, please call the church office to get on the schedule.

 Serving as an Acolyte

The word "acolyte" means helper. In the context of worship, an acolyte is a person who assists and helps the presiding minister as needed. As part of the Confirmation experience, the confirmation students are asked to serve as acolytes. The acolyte ministry provides an opportunity for them to serve as well as helps them understand worship from a different perspective. Kids will be given the option of early or late service. Please see the schedule below to see when you acolyte.
