Confirmation classes

“At some point in the lives of people who have been baptized as babies, it is the hope of the church that people baptized will stand up in front of a congregation and personally lay claim to the promises of their baptisms. In so doing, they will confirm that the faith in which they were baptized is their faith too. This “Affirmation of Baptism” is called “Confirmation.” (Ref. ELCIC. http://www.elcic.ca/What-We-Believe/Sacraments/Affirmation.cfm )

Agricola church offers Confirmation classes for youth. Participants are encouraged to attend and partake in the worship services. The classes meet after the English service (from 12:30 pm), about once a month for a school year. During the classes, the youth discuss big questions related to life and faith. The youth are encouraged to ask questions, reflect and explore ideas in order to develop a deeper understanding about God, about the messages included in the Bible and about Jesus Christ and His messages to us. In addition, the youth and the pastor take part in one or two weekend retreats. In May or June, the classes culminate in a big celebration, Confirmation Sunday.
