Confirmation
What is confirmation? Confirmation is a public rite of the
church preceded by a period of instruction designed to help
baptized Christians identify with the life and mission of the
Christian community ... Prior to admission to the Lord’s
Supper, it is necessary to be instructed in the Christian faith (1
Cor. 11:28). The rite of confirmation provides an opportunity
for the individual Christian, relying on God’s promise given in
Holy Baptism, to make a personal public confession of the faith
and a lifelong pledge of fidelity to Christ. (From question 306 in
Luther’s Small Catechism with Explanation)
Who & When: Students who have just finished the 6th grade
will begin their catechesis in the summer following the school
year. Class sessions will meet twice a week from June-August
for two successive summers. During the school year, there
may be periodic gatherings for the confirmation students to
worship, learn, and connect. In addition, two book reports will
be done during the school year as part of the confirmation
instruction. The Rite of Confirmation will take place during the
10:30 Divine Service on Reformation Sunday (the Sunday on
or prior to Oct. 31) following the second summer of instruction.
Curriculum: One summer’s instruction will consist of an
overview of the Bible and God’s salvation history, with
reference to Luther’s Small Catechism. The other summer will
strictly consist of a study of the Six Chief Parts of the Small
Catechism.
