FaithWalk 2020-2021 Schedule​

Our schedule this year will be as follows:
  • 6pm--Worship on Wednesday:  This is a quiet, contemplative, devotional service of Word & Sacrament--meaning, not only will we hear the Word of God; we will also receive the Lord's Supper.
    This will be in the Centrum--the main sanctuary on the church side.
  • 6:35pm--Large Group Lesson: We'll be learning about Luther's Small Catechism this year, and one of the pastors will have a lesson for the whole group. 
  • 7pm--Small Groups & Adult Bible Study
  • 8pm--Dismissal​​

    FAITH WALK BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS, DISCIPLINE POLICY, AND COVENANT
    ​FAITH WALK COVENANT 
    Trinity Lutheran Church seeks to create a positive, loving, safe, respectful and fun environment for learning, building relationships, and growing in faith through the confirmation (FaithWalk) ministry.  Creating a clear discipline policy provides space for this positive environment to emerge, and when necessary, outlines a process for followup if expectations are not followed.  These expectations apply to students, parents, and volunteers involved in the program and helps to shape the kind of behavior that will be most beneficial to all.
     
    CORE EXPECTIONS
    • Showing respect and a cooperative attitude.
    • No teasing, rudeness, or talking over others (this includes talking while others are sharing during small group time, as well as talking while the presenter is speaking during large group gatherings.)
    • Following the direction of adult leaders.
    • Respecting the rights and property of others.
    • Abstaining from the use of inappropriate language.
    • Abstaining from the use of cell phones and music players unless specifically instructed. 
    • Abstaining from the use of drugs and alcohol during any church sponsored activity.
     
    CONSEQUENCES
    If expectations are not met by the student the following consequences will follow-
    • 1st Offense:  Warning. 
    • 2nd Offense:  The student will be asked to take the rest of the evening off and a parent/guardian will be notified for transportation.
    • If a student is asked to leave an event twice during the year, a parent/guardian will be invited to a conference with the student and a pastor.
    • Cell Phones and Electronics will be confiscated at the 1st Offense.  They will be returned at dismissal.
     
    Pastors and all volunteers will lead by example.  In speech, we will not gossip or swear.  In life, we will do what pleases God.  In love, we will care about others.  In faith, we will pray and trust God.  In purity, we will choose what is right.
     
    The discipline policy has been established to help keep a safe, respectful and positive environment for everyone.  Jesus said, “Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.” (Mark 11:25)  The spirit of this program is to address discipline concerns as they arise, but also to approach one another with a spirit of love and grace.
     
    I have read the above statements and will abide by the discipline policy.

Sermon-Worship Notes:

Picture
One of the things we know followers of Jesus do is WORSHIP. In order to help form that practice, we require a minimal number of Sermon-Worship Notes to be turned in. The Sermon-Worship Note helps our FaithWalkers interact with the worship service in such a way that they are having TO LISTEN and TO THINK about what is being said or sung.     

NOTE: THIS NUMBER IS NOT TO BE MISUNDERSTOOD AS "ALL THAT WE REQUIRE FOR WORSHIP." 

The required number of Sermon-Worship Notes are as follows:
  •  6th Graders (2020)--30 TOTAL or 10 per year.
  • 7th Graders (2020)--30 TOTAL or 10 per year.
  • 8th Graders or older (2020)--15 TOTAL or 5 per year.
These numbers represent FAR FEWER than HALF of our congregation's opportunities to worship over the course of a year. 
Picture
The form below can be filled out and submitted from home as you worship with us via Livestream (Sundays at 9am) OR it can be accessed from your device when you worship with us in-person on Sunday mornings at 10:30am or Wednesday evenings at 6pm. 

    Sermon-Worship Note Form

Faith5 Family Devos: 
Each FaithWalker is REQUIRED to complete 20 Family Devos per year toward confirmation in the fall of their 9th Grade Year. 

Really, the bottom line isn't filling in blanks, jumping through hoops, or fulfilling requirements. The bottom line is GROWING in faith and practice in such a way that families experience the peace, joy, love, patience, endurance, and MORE that comes with the grace-filled relationship we have with God in Jesus Christ. But that doesn't just "happen." So the CHALLENGE is to seek to install this Faith5 Family Devos at least TWICE a week!​
