At regular times throughout the year the students also engage in service projects and social events. Friends are always welcome to attend, and you do not have to be a member of First in order to participate in our confirmation activities.

Confirmation Schedule —Janet Larson will be teaching the large group lessons during the month of September. Together we will learn about the Ten Commandments.

• September 1 — First Commandment

In our first week we will learn that when the First commandment is fulfilled,
the keeping of others will follow.

• September 8 — Second Commandment

We will take a look at how taking God’s name in vain is all about identity theft,
because sinners have a way of using God’s name in ways it wasn’t intended.

   

 

Something to look forward to—Peder Eide!

 

Peter will lead worship for Rally Weekend here at First then at LOMC for the Jr. High Retreat on October 22-24.
Watch for more details.

• The fall retreat has been the highlight for many of the youth. Reserve those weekends now,
  so you won’t miss these experiences.
