STEPPING STONES

CONFIRMATION CLASSES
Confirmation is a teaching and fellowship ministry for 7th and 8th grade students, to learn the basic truths about Jesus and the Lutheran faith. Students gather on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. for study, throughout the school year. At the end of two years of study, participants can be "confirmed", in a rite of the church where they receive the blessing of the whole church.

MICAH'S WALK
Micah's Walk is a lively worship/learning ministry for children and adults. Held at 9:20 a.m. each Sunday in the auditorium, participants learn Bible stories, share the love of Jesus together, and make occasional "visits" to faraway places where Christians also worship. During the second half hour, participants divide by age into small groups for discussion and additional learning.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
For children three years old and potty trained through children who have completed the Sixth Grade. It is held during June for one week, 8:30-noon each weekday. Students learn from plays, Bible study, crafts, recreation, and music based on a Scriptural theme.
