THE
RITE OF CONFIRMATION
Confirmation Instruction at Trinity
Students
are normally confirmed in the Seventh Grade at Trinity. There
is a two-year process, which begins with either Sixth Grade
Religion Class in our school or a special First Year Confirmation
Class taught on certain Sunday afternoons. The second year of instruction
is taught by
Pastor Moore to all students,
whether students at Trinity’s school or not.
NEEDED: CPP’s! (Confirmation
Class Prayer Partners)
It’s confirmation time again at Trinity. Youth primarily in grade seven
prepare for their transition into “full” membership in our church.
Every other Sunday for approximately eight months, these youth will delve into
the teachings of the Lutheran Church and Luther’s Small Catechism. No
light task to be sure. With all the distractions and temptations that abound
in our world and in the lives of these youth, it seems that prayer support
as they journey is essential. We encourage the congregation to remember these
youth as they pray.
More
than this we are looking for some “special” adults
who would commit to secretly “adopting” a confirmation
student for the year and become their “Confirmation Prayer
Partner” or CPP. As a CPP you would of course, pray specifically
and intentionally for that confirmation student, but also act as
a “secret pal” and remember your youth with cards (birthday,
baptismal, holiday, etc.) signed “Confirmation Prayer Partner.” Then
at the end of the year, each CPP will be revealed as they join
the confirmand’s family at the Seder Meal on Maundy Thursday.
You will receive information on your confirmand, including birth
date, address, email (if available), interests, etc., along with
a photograph. We ask that you make a commitment of at least one
correspondence to your confirmand per month.
This
is a great opportunity to become involved in a special way in the
lives of our young people It does take a commitment and all students
will need a CPP for the program to commence. Please pray about
this opportunity to impact the life of a young person. If you have
any question or would like to participate this year, please contact
Pastor Moore 407-422-5704.
