of Baptism Class<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: Left;\"><span class=\"Standard_Text\">The three-year program cycles through Old Testament, New Testament, and Luther\u2019s Catechism.  This year we explore how God was active in the New Testament.  Students are taught by Pastor Zawistoski (a.k.a. Pastor Z), and four other adults from the congregation.  The congregation members share their faith by helping to teach.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: Left;\"><span class=\"Standard_Text\">Class meets each week on Sunday at 10 a.m. in the Great Hall with classes running from September until late May or early June. Click <a href=\"https:\/\/saintluke.formstack.com\/forms\/confirmation_registration\">here<\/a> or the registration button at the bottom of the page to register your child for the Affirmation of Baptism class. Though your child is welcome to attend if you do not register, registering provides important information about your child and provides the needed contact information so you can be kept informed about what is going on with the Affirmation of Baptism ministry at Saint Luke. While the middle school youth meet, <a href=\"sluke.us\/index.php\/faithformation-2\/\">PreK-5th graders<\/a> and <a href=\"sluke.us\/index.php\/senior-high\/\">high school youth<\/a> also have classes and there is an adult education class called <a href=\"sluke.us\/index.php\/faithformation-adult\/\">Up for Discussion<\/a>. There are also periodic adult classes led by Pastor Miller or others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: Left;\"><span class=\"Standard_Text\">In addition to weekly classes for the 6th-8th graders, there are also social and service events throughout the year. These events include such things as retreats, setting out food for the Food Pantry's annual Thanksgiving basket event for those in need in the community, decorating Christmas cookies, and more. In addition, middle and high school youth are invited to be teen volunteers helping to lead the younger kids (PreK-5th graders) in science, service projects, recreation\/games, story time, music, crafts, and more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: Left;\"><span class=\"Standard_Text\">The youth are asked to <u>complete nine worship notes each year.<\/u>  Find the link to the notes below.  Send your completed notes to Pastor Z via email.  See the contact us button at the bottom of the page for his email address.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: Left;\"><span class=\"Black_Header_Text\">Prayer<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: Left;\"><span class=\"Standard_Text\">Gracious God, we give you thanks that you have given us your word through the writings of the faithful.  We are grateful for your people who handed down their faith from generation to generation so that we may learn from them and about them.
