Confirmation (6-8th grade) in Zehnder Chapel...
Confirmation at Ascension is a three year program for 6, 7, & 8th grade students. Through multimedia and small groups the students will learn how the 10 Commandments and Lord's Prayer apply to their lives. They will grow in relationship with each other and their families by sharing their highs & lows, praying together, and sharing a blessing. Confirmation will also include servant events, fellowship time and weekend retreats. Megan Miessler is the leader of Confirmation.
Confirmation Expectations:
Confirmation is when middle school students are taught the basic teachings of the Lutheran church so that when they have completed the program they will be able to reaffirm their baptismal vows. At
Ascension, Confirmation is a three year program for 6th, 7th & 8th
grade students. During these three years the confirmands will participate in small groups, servant events, home huddles and fellowship events. They will also be expected to complete sermon notes to help them better understand the message Pastor Mulder shares on Sunday Morning.
