We call confirmation “H2H” ministry at West Linn Lutheran. H2H represents how faith is formed in young people - from the head (H) to (2) the heart (H). It's a 3 year program of learning, serving and social activities for middle schoolers.
This period of instruction leads to the Rite of Confirmation (Affirmation of Baptism) in the fall of the 9th grade year. The H2H program also prepares middle school students for participation in the high school youth program of our congregation.
The instructional materials include Bibles and the Living Faith Journals. H2H participants preview the topics on Sunday evenings and during the week participate in additional writing, reading, prayer and discussion with their families. Sunday evenings include a study time, small group discussions, snacks and prayer.
H2H activities include a one week session each summer in late August over three years, 16-18 Sunday night class meetings (5:00-6:30 pm) through the year, various "fun" experiences (beach trip and skiing, etc.), and several opportunities for serving others through community service.
For additional information about the H2H program of WLLC and faith formation for middle schoolers, please contact the Church Office.
