Youth Announcements

There will be Acolyte Training for all interested children on the 18th of October before service. (8:30am)   This quick instructional session will review the duties of lighting and extinguishing the candles, taking offering, etc.  The Council encourages all the children of the church to participate.  Simply attend the session.  If your children want to participate but cannot attend this first session, please notify Pastor Mike or Sabrina so another session can be scheduled.  Thank you to all the children that volunteer in our church.

 

Confirmation Class needs to be organized soon.  Please contact Pastor Mike if your child is entering 6th, 7th, or 8th grade.  A parent meeting will be scheduled to discuss the best time to hold class.

Our Redeemer's gifts every child that is in 5th grade (or older) with a Bible.  Please contact Sabrina or Pastor Mike to get your child's name on the list.  Bibles will be presented during worship service, date to be determined.

Acolyte Training

Pastor Mike will offer a brief Acolyte Training Session immediately after the Annual Meeting on Sunday, January 19.  All children that are interested in the various alter jobs such as ringing the bell, lighting and extinguishing candles, and collecting offering should attend.  This training session will quickly introduce the traditional and safe way to handle the alter supplies.  The potluck should be ready to serve by the time the instruction is completed.

We are grateful to have so many children at Our Redeemer's that are interested in, and willing to, perform acolyte duties.  A sign-up has been added to the Volunteer page so children can choose which months they would like to serve in this way.  We hope this will help give each child the opportunity to serve.  Children of all ages are encouraged to become involved in the acolyte duties.  Additional training sessions will be offered in the near future for those families that cannot attend on January 19th.
