Confirmation supports families in preparing for the Rite of Confirmation — when students publicly profess their faith. Students will study the basics of our Lutheran faith, the basics of discipleship and how to follow Jesus in this world. Confirmation students will also be assigned to a “huddle” group led by a high school leader. In these Confirmation huddles, students will discuss the teaching of the day and ask, “What is God saying to me?” and “What will I do about it?” This two-year program is for 7th and 8th grade students on Sunday mornings from 9:15 – 10:15 a.m.

We believe that kids’ lives will be transformed when they spend time in God’s Word and with His family. On Sunday mornings, we explore God’s Word, we play together, we talk together. We learn what it means to follow Jesus together. All classes meet on Sunday mornings from 9:15 – 10:15 a.m.

Children 0 – 2 years old meet in the nursery and are introduced to the basic stories of the Bible through song, stories and play.

Children in preschool – 1st grade gather for songs, interactive Bible stories and play as they discover how much God loves them.

Students in 2nd – 6th grade will explore God’s Word, play games, sing and learn what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.

Kindergarten children and parents attend three interactive sessions to remember the child’s baptism. This is a great age to use fun activities to explore what God has done in Baptism and lay a strong foundation for their identity in Christ.

The OurTime ministry provides Christ-centered activities addressing the spiritual, social, physical and educational needs of men and women in the “second half of life.” This segment of our church family includes empty nesters, retirees, grandparents, divorcees and widows/widowers — all of whom desire fellowship with others and to be productive servants of Christ.

This study meets on Wednesday at 9 a.m. on Zoom to discuss the readings for the upcoming worship service. During group participation different views and ideas are expressed as we grow together in Christ. For more information, contact Pastor Eugene Krueger at eugene@sotv-wdm.org.
