Young Families Group at Mount Calvary

We are thankful to be a congregation with many families and children. Young Families Group will meet Saturday, August 19 at 5:30 PM for a potluck (bring a dish or two to pass) and discussion-based study. After supper, the children will be excused to enjoy some organized playtime while the adults discuss the topic assigned each month.

Please review the calendar to plan for the next Young Families Group: Church Calendar

Youth Confirmation and Confirmation Jump-Start Classes

In addition to our general Young Families Group, Mount Calvary offers two bible classes to our youth.

Confirmation

Confirmation is the historic program in the Lutheran Church of 2-3 years of intense study in the catechism and God’s Word leading to receiving the body and blood of the Lord. (The word confirm means “to strengthen.”) Our program is open to children of any age who have completed the jump start program (see below). The hour and fifteen-minute instruction will take place weekly over Zoom.

Confirmation Jump-Start

This program has been implemented for the purpose of getting our children prepared for confirmation. The children will log into Zoom for 30 minutes each week where they will recite a manageable memory assignment, sing a catechism hymn, pray, and hear a small portion of Scripture. The goals of this class are for each child, by the end of the year, to memorize parts of each of the six sections of Luther’s Small Catechism. Based on the parents’ discretion, any child in 3rd grade or above is welcome to take this class.
