  The Affirmation of Baptism and Confirmation (ABC) class resumes on Sunday, September 13, 2020, from 10:45 am – 11:30 am, on Zoom.
  A Zoom link will be sent directly to families.
  This class is for Saint Andrew’s youth in grades 7 and 8, and prepares Saint Andrew’s youth to understand and affirm their faith.

  The ABC teachers ask a parent from each family to attend the first class (September 13) with the youth, at which time Dana N. will welcome the youth, present an overview of the year, and introduce the teachers.

Our faithful teaching team continues to challenge our young people as they prepare for the Affirmation of their Baptism, usually at the end of their 8th grade year.
The students study the Old and New Testaments, Martin Luther, the basic tenets of the Lutheran faith, liturgy, service, and discuss questions of ethics and related issues of faith.

Mentor/Mentee Ministry
Our Mentor Ministry links adults of mature faith with the young people to support, encourage and engage in discussions on faith issues during their three years in ABC. Mentors meet with small groups of youth during Discipleship Hour on Sunday mornings.

Worship Service Summaries
