Description of the Confirmation Wednesday Evening Schedule:

Confirmation at Crown of Glory is a three year program that begins in the fall of the 6th grade and is completed with the Rite of Confirmation in 9th grade, held each year on Reformation Sunday. The Confirmation program offers a wide variety growth opportunities and flexibility for each person to partner and walk in their faith journey. The program incorporates traditional biblical teaching components, such as Luther’s Small Catechism, a spiritual and enriching worship experience and a Christ centered message that teaches youth about our Christian faith and Lutheran traditions.

Family Dinner

Dinner for all youth and their families is served every Wednesday from 5:15pm-6:30pm. The cost is $4 per youth or $12 per family. Meals are prepared by families and Confirmation small groups.
On a rotational basis throughout the Confirmation program year each 6th – 8th grade small group is responsible for preparing and serving the Family Dinner on Wednesday nights. Each small group chooses what they serve from a provided menu. This is just one service event that is an enriching way for parents to participate, help serve, and organize the Wednesday evening meals.

Wednesday evening meal duties for adults may include: Food preparation, overseeing the youth set the serving table, operating the stove or oven to warm food, serving, clean-up and other supervisory roles when needed. All meals will be ordered prior to Wednesday evening, so there is generally very little preparation.

The Gathering: “We gather together around God’s Word, music, experience, and prayer.”
The “Gathering” is a ministry focused on experiencing God’s WORD, through worship MUSIC, listing to how others encounter the Word through sharing personal EXPERIENCE, drama, or instruction, and through taking time to connect to the Word and its purpose in our lives through mediation and PRAYER.

The Gathering is for all ages and is the opening session and praise time for our 6th -8th grade Confirmation program. Please check the church calendar for schedule changes throughout the program year. Together, we will discover how the lessons of the Bible apply to day to day life.

Confirmation Small Groups

Following the “Gathering” students break into small groups according to grade and gender.  Each small group is facilitated and mentored by adult leaders. To close out each evening students are invited to the narthex area outside the sanctuary for a closing prayer and blessing.
