Milestone Ministries
Bibles
In keeping with our baptismal promise to provide children with the Holy Scripture, Faith Lutheran gives Bibles to youth three different times:
Three-year olds receive a Storybook Bible in January as we celebrate Jesus’ Baptism. They also design a personalized tote bag for carrying their Bible to and from Sunday school, Grandma’s house, etc.
Third grade students receive a Student NRSV Bible in September. Following the service, a luncheon for the students and their families is served and they receive an orientation on how to use their Bible in their everyday lives.
Students in 5th grade receive a Study Bible in preparation for beginning confirmation. They will bring this each Wednesday evening throughout the three year confirmation instruction.
Communion Instruction
Communion for Beginners (any age!) We are excited to offer a Communion for Beginners class for kids who are interested in receiving communion. This class helps kids to learn all about and prepare for this very special part of worship and our Christian faith. This is not mandatory, and it will be left up to the discretion of parents to determine at what age their child is ready to start receiving communion. If you have questions or would like further information, please contact the church office to see when the next class will be scheduled.
Confirmation (Affirmation of Baptism)
As students begin 6th grade, they also begin our Confirmation Program. Students will meet each Wednesday night and will learn about the Bible, Martin Luther, and affirming their faith in preparation of becoming a confirmed member. The service will take place the fall of their 9th grade year.
