Jr. Confirmation instruction will start in September. Jr. Confirmands and their parents are asked to attend an organizational meeting on Sunday, September 17, during the Sunday School hour in the Conference room.
Luther’s Small Catechism with Explanation will be provided to each new Confirmand, but each student will need to bring their own Bible to class.
The LYF will be filling the plastic eggs for the annual Sunday School Easter Egg hunt. They are asking the congregation for donations of rolls of nickels/dimes, small prizes, or bags of individually wrapped candy to fill the eggs. Your donations can be placed in the container provided in the youth room or they can be dropped off in the church office. Thanks for your help with this project!
