Welcome to our
Confirmation Class.
I am so very
excited that you have chosen to confirm your faith in our Lord Jesus
Christ. I know, we at St. Augustine’s will do everything in
our power to uphold you in prayer and to offer encouragement to you
and your family during this next year. Confirmation, as suggested by
its very name, is a time of making firm one’s belief and
reasons for faith in our Lord. In every sense of the word, you will
be asked to confirm the promises made for you, by your parents and
Godparents, when you were baptized.
During our
Confirmation Class, you will be expected to attend and participate in
a number of educational activities and instructional classes. These
classes will take place on Sunday mornings at 9 am, during the 9am
service. Often, the Confirmands will be requested to stay for the 11
am service, as they will be assisting in some way during that
service. We will also have some homework for each confirmands to
complete that will be found on our website after each class.
Your regular
attendance at church is an absolute must. The
expectation will be that:
To help make
St. Augustine's your church, each of you will be expected to choose
at least one form of ministry to participate in. Following a brief
time of instruction on January 20th
or 27th,
immediately after the 11:00 AM service, you will be regularly
scheduled to take an active role in the ministry you have chosen.
Areas
of ministry you will be selecting from are as follows:
Servers:
The expectation, that once trained, you would serve on the Altar,
as per the schedule provided, assisting the Priest with the service
by carrying the Cross, passing the Priest the Wine and the Water and
Bread, and lighting the putting out the candles.
Greeters:
The expectation, that once trained, you would serve as a Greeter at
the door, as per the schedule provided, greeting and warmly
welcoming people into our church as they enter.
Sidespeople:
The expectation, that once trained, you would serve as a
Sidesperson, as per the schedule provided, passing out bulletins,
taking up collection and bringing it forward to the server.
Class
Project
Throughout
the next year, we will be asking that the Confirmation Class work on
a particular project that will be presented to the Church on the day
of your confirmation. The Confirmation Class will actively discuss
what sort of project your class wishes to do.
We
are pleased to also make open to you three areas of ministry with our
youth:
Children’s
Church which meets every Sunday at 11:00 AM,
Our
Youth Group, which meets every Monday at 7:00 PM and
Our
CLB which meets every Wednesday at 6:30 PM.
