CONFIRMATION WORSHIP NOTES

2024 Summer Youth Service Trip

We will be serving teaming up with Immanuel-Broken Arrow at an inner-city immersion program through Prince of Peace in Cincinnati, OH. At the end of the week we will have the opportunity to also visit the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. In addition, during the week one evening we will attend an MLB ballgame of the Reds vs. Rockies (and eat dinner there). The expected cost is currently $225.The goal of this immersion program is to give a group of volunteers an in-depth experience of the inner city environment in which Prince of Peace Lutheran Church exists within Cincinnati. Prince of Peace is in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, an inner-city environment. The immersion program is intended for an extended period of time. We will sleep at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, participate in ministry activities that occur at Prince of Peace, many of which serves the homeless and poor in Over-the-Rhine. These include “The Bridge” a day shelter program on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 11am-2pm and their Wednesday night community program of a devotion and community meal starting at 6pm as well as Kids Church for inner city youth on Sundays at 11:30 am.
Finally, the immersion program will give us exposure to other agencies and environments outside of Prince of Peace that serve the homeless and inner city youth in Over-the-Rhine. This includes the Freestore Foodbank and Wesley Chapel Mission Center youth outreach.
We will need commitments by those planning to attend, no later than December 1.

Confirmation Classes 2023-2024

Students have TWO options for class times this year. Because of the exciting, active construction project at CTR we will be slightly creative with our course schedule this year.

Class options are:
Sunday School from 9:30-10:30 am for 6th grade – 8th grade
CTR-U on Wednesday nights at 5:30 PM

Students eligible for classes may attend one or both class time offerings because each class will be a different course each lasting differing lengths of time. Rather than a set confirmation class schedule each individual student and their family will be able to build their class time around their individual needs and time constraints. This means the length of time a student takes to complete all the requirements will vary for each and no longer be a set number of years as it was in the past.

Please contact DCE Suzanne and she will send you the appropriate books or make them available for you to pick up at CTR.

Thank you for your support, and please keep your children and the ministry of Christ the Redeemer in your prayers.

SUNDAY AM CLASS

9:30-10:30 AM in the Jr High Classroom.

Please bring your workbook, folder, and Faith Alive Bible.

Sunday Confirmation Schedule Fall/Winter 2023
