Date Changes for Confirmation

The information below will be sent home with the eighth graders.

Confirmation Sunday is moved to Sunday, May 26^th. The Questioning service will be Wednesday, May 22^nd. My intention is to have a potluck meal and presentation of gifts after the questioning. More details will be forthcoming. We will still use the season of Lent as a time to pray for and bless our catechumens as they prepare for confirmation.

This new schedule will allow more time for confirmands to review their catechism work and interview with me throughout the year. Please feel free to call with any questions.

In Christ,

Pastor Gaunt

Large Catechism

At the orientation meeting last September I handed out Large Catechisms for each family, but didn't really explain the purpose.  Luther wrote the Large Catechism for parents and pastors to expand what he writes in the Small Catechism. As I prepare to teach a portion of the Small Catechism each week, I often study the correlating passages from the Large Catechism. I always learn something new as I read it.

I wanted to provide each family with a copy as a support to parents as they hand the faith on to their children. The ideal scenario would be that parents read the portion of the Large Catechism that corresponds to those portions that we are learning in Midweek. If nothing else I hope it is a helpful resource, and I pray it is a tool that deepens your faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
