Youth Education

Confirmation for 7th and 8th grades meets Wednesdays at 7PM.
This year, we are using the Here We Stand Confirmation curriculum from Augsburg Fortress. We are studying Luther's Small Catechism on Wednesday Evenings and Lutheran Theology during the 7th and 8th grade Sunday School Class. Confirmands: go to www.hwsstudent.org to do your weekly assignments.

During Advent, the confirmands each undertake a creative project of their choice. This past year, their focus was Baptism. Click here to see an example project.

During Lent, the confirmands go on a 2-day retreat for study and fellowship time. The past two years, we have been blessed to hold the retreat at Skelly Lodge.

Lenten Youth Retreat Attendees February 23, 2008

For more information about enrolling in confirmation at Joy, please contact the church office.

Youth Group: The Junior and Senior High Youth meet on the first Wednesday of the month at 6 PM. They also have at least one monthly activity.

Devis and Ellica Support: After the 2006 National Youth Gathering, the Youth wanted to fund the education of Devis and Ellica, as a sign of our love for our Rwandan neighbors:

“So teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” He said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment and a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Matthew 22: 36-40 NRSV

The mission of the Joy Youth Group Education Fund is to support others less fortunate than ourselves in obtaining a good education so that they can better themselves, their communities, their country, their church, and the global society. As stated by Matthew, we are not only called to love the Lord above all, we are also called to love our neighbors. We see this as a command to care for and help others make the most of their lives and situations. We believe education is a vital necessity in the quest to live a full productive life.

 

If you would like to help fund Devis and Ellica's education, download this form and mail it to Joy, or contact the church office by phone: 918-299-3292.
