St. John Zoom Rules= we want to see you [cameras on]
you may use a virtual background [church appropriate]
Students will meet via ZOOM one time a month for Confirmation. Here at church, we are practicing "Grace & Space" for families, as we all navigate the "new normal" with Covid19. That means, while we continue to know how important Spiritual growth and learning is, we know how important being together is, and we know how vital a strong faith foundation is for life; and we also know that families are struggling with a lot this year.
While students will be only meeting one time a month, we hope you will continue to seek out ways to build up faith at home. After all---home participation in the faith life is the #1 predictor of life-long faith. If it is important in the home...it will be important to them in the future. If they don't see you nurturing your own faith and participating in the life of the church; you can not expect them to cherish or value it in theirs.
If faith is nourished and valued in the home, children are much more likely to grow up with strong spiritual roots. But! That doesn't just happen. Families need to build faith with time, habits, and rituals to make faith active and important in every day ways. Please make our St. John Faith5 practice of: every home, every family, every night a part of your family routine [more info at the bottom of this page]. It's something small we can all do to make a HUGE impact!
Along with meeting once a month via ZOOM, we expect some confirmation work, bible reading and continued prayer life to happen at home.
7th Graders will meet the first Wednesday of each month.
8th Graders will meet the second Wednesday of each month.
9th Graders will meet the third Wednesday of each month.
Confirmation meetings take place on the above Wednesdays from 5:45 PM to 6:45 PM, with worship following from 7-7:15 PM. We follow the Elk River School District calendar. We also follow their schedule for cancelations. If there is no school or an early release on a given Wednesday: there will not be a confirmation class night that evening.
