Aug 25, 2010 – Parents Meeting Information
This file contains the information covered in the parents meeting including the full list of class meeting dates, required books, and some different requirements this year.
First assignment is to review the Questions that will be asked in the Rite of Confirmation on p272 of the Lutheran Service Book. (Please note that there are two questions as printed in LSB that I deem inappropriate to ask of those being confirmed. The questions I will ask stop at the intention to hear the Word and receive the Supper faithfully. Part of the stated goals of confirmation is to learn to see the Christian Life as a living out of the basic doctrines. While asking of a mature Christian questions such as – Do you intend to continue steadfast in this confession and to suffer all, even death -is important and even necessary (Matt 10:38) , asking them of those making a first public confession strikes me as out of order.)
