Confirming Our Youth

Posted August 20, 2026 By admin

I would like to be the first to congratulate our four confirmands for 2026. For the past two years, excluding some time between seasons, these four students have met with me and studied the Scriptures, Luther’s Small Catechism, and the historical liturgy of the Church. I am especially proud of these four as they have endured several schedule changes, multiple quizzes and exams and even summer classes which is a first for this pastor.

But all four have demonstrated to me that they are ready to accept and affirm the promises made for them in Baptism. Well done Bryleigh, Copeland, MacKenzie, and Samantha. These four will be confirmed on Sunday, September 6th as a part of our service of worship.

Blessing of the Backpacks

Posted August 5, 2026 By admin

It’s hard to believe, the summer break from school for our children is about to come to a close. The first day of public school in Chapin is Tuesday, August 11th . As such, we will have our annual blessing of the kids’ backpacks and bookbags on Sunday, August 9th during the Children’s Sermon.

All students in grade K-12 are encouraged to bring their backpacks or bookbags with them as we pray for God’s blessing on another fruitful school year. We will also pray for teachers (public school, private school, and homeschool) that they would enjoy seeing their students progress in their areas of study.

Catechetical Instruction to Begin in August

Posted August 22, 2024 By admin

The Confirmation process will soon begin for several of our younger church family members. Emma, Gabriel, Samantha, Copeland, Bryleigh, and MacKenzie will all be joining Pastor David for lessons in the Old and New Testaments, as well as exploring Luther’s Small Catechism. The two-year period of instruction will conclude on Pentecost Sunday in 2026. That seems like a long way off, but truly the time will pass by quickly for these faithful youth members. Please pray for them as they embark on this journey where they will come to the point when each one will stand and publicly claim the promises God made to them at the time of their Baptism. Confirmation Instruction is currently scheduled to begin on Sunday, August 25th at 3:00 PM in the church office.

VBS

Posted July 3, 2024 By admin

Breaker Rock Beach
June 24-27
VBS began at Breaker Rock Beach on Monday, June 24th. Dinner was served nightly and there were classes for all ages! God’s voice was heard – “Truth comes from me. My plan for you is even better. Everyone sins and needs a Savior. Jesus is the only way to get to heaven.” Fun and fellowship was enjoyed by all.
Thanks to all our VBS 2024 volunteers! YOU make VBS happen! Many thanks from the Christian Education Team.
