1 St. Andrew Lutheran Church Confirmation Handbook
2 Confirmation Welcome Dear Families, We are so glad you ve chosen to enter into this journey of deepening faith, asking the big questions, and finding your sweet spot in the St. Andrew community. We hope St. Andrew Lutheran Church provides your child a place to contemplate, question, celebrate, and experience all of the amazing and beautiful ways that God loves His children. Thank you for making faith a priority in your home. Confirmation is a time for young people to Connect with peers and trusted adults in ways that support their wellbeing. Confirmation is a time for young people to Grow in Christ, learn about God s love, and to encounter the Holy Spirit. Confirmation is a time for young people to Give of themselves and serve as God s hands and feet in the world. This year, our students will practice Living Out Their Faith in Daily Life through connecting foundational Bible stories to their everyday experiences. With small group ministry at the center of discussion, our confirmation students will explore who God and Jesus really are, discover how the messages from the Old and New Testaments came to fruition in our current day Bible, and determine what relevance these messages have in today s society. It is a great honor to stand alongside your child as we learn about God s Word, our fundamental beliefs in God and Jesus Christ, and our call to action as a serving and faithful community of young people. I pray that we continue to pursue a deepening relationship with God, and that we may build an intentional community of insightful questioning and fruitful discussion together. Blessings to you and your family, Reilly Orner Middle School Ministry Director rorner@standrewlu.org 1

4 Confirmation 7th & 8th Grade Expectations The confirmation program at St. Andrew Lutheran Church begins as students enter 7th grade and concludes with the Affirmation of Baptism in the fall of 9th grade. Our confirmation program is designed with the hope that your child will find their place in the Church, and we ask that your family supports this process by committing to attend worship with them, discuss faith regularly in your home, and making confirmation a priority within your family. Weekly Participation Students are expected to engage in the conversation while attending weekly meetings or confirmation camp. If a student is unable to attend confirmation one week, we ask that the student text or Reilly and their group leader to let them know. Worship Attendance Attend church on a regular basis at 9:00, 10:30 AM, or 5:30 PM. During Lent (March 6 April 16), weekly confirmation meetings are suspended for confirmation students to attend Wednesday evening services with their families. Completion of 10 Worship Reports (per year) There are no right or wrong answers here; we re just looking to hear about your worship experience. Worship note sheets can be picked up at the ministry desk, or printed from: standrewlu.org/education/confirmation-7th-9th-graders/ Attend a Confirmation Retreat We ask that you choose one of the three retreat options to attend, this year we ll be exploring world religions. The cost of the retreat is included in your Wednesday afternoon or evening registration tuition. There is an additional cost for confirmation camp students. February 2 in Minneapolis February at Spirit in the Pines Camp March 1 3 at Spirit in the Pines Camp Complete 8 Service Hours at Church We re asking each confirmation student to complete 8 hours of service at or through St. Andrew. You can complete your service hours by signing up for one of the many volunteer opportunities at St. Andrew or you can also attend one of the many service events put on by our service ministry. All you have to do is sign-up on one of the many signup genius lists, and show up with a good attitude! We highly encourage you to try a few different types of service, and find something you love to do. You can sign up for service hours on our website. Volunteer opportunites include: Greeting or serving communion at a worship service Helping with Wednesday night meals Helping in Sunday School* Singing in the Spirit Singers Choir* Sorting gifts for the holiday store Being a leader at the Table Worship Service Other opportunites *If you are in a choir or a Sunday School helper, you will need to commit to more than 8 hours of service to fulfill the needs of that ministry program. One-on-One with Pastors During Lent, each 8th grade confirmation student and his/her parents or guardians will meet with one of the pastors to get to know each other and discuss faith as the student gets closer to being confirmed. Times and Dates will be communicated in the confirmation weekly in the spring. 3
5 Handbook 9 th Grade Program 9th Grade confirmation is designed to tie a nice bow on what your child has been learning in confirmation over these past 2 years. Each confirmand will create a Faith Statement, select a bible verse, and meet with a St. Andrew pastor.

Your family s safety is always our top priority. If you are unable to safely make it to an event, we understand. Communication It is our desire to keep parents and families up to date on everything that is happening in confirmation. To this end, we have a variety of methods for communicating with you. Please never hesitate to ask questions. You will receive an from me every Friday including information on upcoming service opportunities, weekly meetings, and retreats. You will also receive s from your student s small group guide. Please read your s, we promise not to bombard you. Text We will ask each group leader to create a GroupMe for their confirmation small group to support each other throughout the week. What is GroupMe? It is a free mobile group messaging app that works on every device. GroupMe makes it easy to stay in touch with the important people in your life. Website standrewlu.org 4
6 Confirmation Behavior Expectations In order for Confirmation to be a good experience for all youth and small group guides, and for it to be a safe place to be one s self and to explore our faith it is important that we commit to the following We will attend Confirmation regularly. We promise to be fully present, and on time, leaving cell phones, ipods, toys, gossip, and other distractions behind (or turned off!). We commit to doing life together as a family of Christ by welcoming everyone, respecting everyone, fully listening to each other, and leaving room for each other to grow at their own pace. Therefore, we have a zero tolerance policy for bullying and harassment. In the rare case that these expectations are not followed, students will be given a warning. Should the behavior continue, students will have a conversation with a St. Andrew staff member and parents will be contacted as appropriate. In the case of extreme behavior (especially when a child s safety is in danger) the student will be immediately removed from the situation and brought to a staff member. Parents will be notified. If there are persistent behavior challenges with a child for more than two weeks, Reilly Orner and Pastor David Lillejord (St. Andrew s Senior Pastor) will meet with the child. Appropriate action will be taken based on the situation. We promise ourselves, small groups, group guides and families that we will strive for not only our best, but for whatever the best is for the whole group. We will respect ourselves and others by following directions, taking care of the space we use and by participating in all the activities to the best of our ability. Middle School Youth Events 708 Middle School events will be scheduled throughout the year to have fun, build our faith, grow our leadership skills, and deepen friendships! Friends not in confirmation are welcome! Seasonal Get-togethers 708 Winter Dance: January Late Night Lockout: Spring Drama Camp: June Leaders in Training at VBS: June Spirit In The Pines Camp + Other Fun Surprises! 5
