Cover page and Table of Contents for "Confirmation Ministry Binder."

Confirmation in the Lutheran church is an intentional time of faith formation in the curriculum of the church resulting in the rite of affirming one's baptism. Through catechesis and Bible learning, service, worship, and relationship building, this is a family ministry of the church that nurtures the faith of our young people, normally around the Junior High school age. This binder is used by the student and family as a handbook throughout the confirmation time. If you choose to use this resource, note that the name of our church (St. Thomas/Holy Spirit Lutheran church or STHS) is used frequently. You will want to change the materials to reflect your local setting. There may also be a few location specific references. Feel free to update as needed. Binder cover and Table of Contents page are submitted separately under "Confirmation Ministry Binder Cover and Contents."

This handbook was designed to be a tool for parents and youth alike. Hopefully, it will answer any last minute questions your acolyte may have. Please use it to refresh your child's memory. Often little details are forgotten when an acolyte has not served in several weeks.
