Sunday Mornings: Confirmation III Updates
We just finished up our first major section study on The Ten Commandments! What are they you ask?
Well...
The First Commandment- You shall have no other gods. What does this mean? We should fear, love, and trust in God above all things.
The Second Commandment- You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God. What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not curse, swear, use satanic arts, lie, or deceive by His name, but call upon it in every trouble, pray, praise, and give thanks.
The Third Commandment- Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not despise preaching and His Word, but hold it sacred and gladly hear and learn it.
The Fourth Commandment- Honor your father and your mother. What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not despise or anger our parents and other authorities, but honor them, serve and obey them, love and cherish them.
The Fifth Commandment- You shall not murder. What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not hurt or harm our neighbor in his body, but help and support him in every physical need.
The Sixth Commandment- You shall not commit adultery. What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we lead a sexually pure and decent life in what we say and do, and husband and wife love and honor each other.
The Seventh Commandment- You shall not steal. What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not take our neighbor’s money or possessions, or get them in any dishonest way, but help him to improve and protect his possessions and income.
The Eighth Commandment- You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not tell lies about our neighbor, betray him, slander him, or hurt his reputation, but defend him, speak well of him, and explain everything in the kindest way.
The Ninth Commandment- You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not scheme to get our neighbor’s inheritance or house, or get it in a way which only appears right, but help and be of service to him in keeping it.
The Tenth Commandment- You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not entice or force away our neighbor’s wife, workers, or animals, or turn them against him, but urge them to stay and do their duty.
Next up, we'll be looking at the Apostles' Creed and the meaning of the three different articles. Stay tuned and be sure to ask your youth lots of questions!

Sunday Mornings: Confirmation I and II Updates
We have spent the first six weeks diving into the Gospels and learning when they were written and more importantly who they were written for.
We learned about the Synoptic Gospels and why John provides us with a much different view of Jesus. We started to explore the aspects of Jesus and learned he was both True Man and True God who has been there since before the creation. I have included one of the worksheets that your student completed in class and continues to be a great reference. Please find it under the "Downloads" Section on the side of this blog.

I am looking forward to continuing our way through the gospels and diving into Acts in the coming months.

Mark your calendar! We will be meeting up for an evening of fellowship with other Lutheran Youth Groups in our area on October 26th.
We will enjoy a corn maze and bonfire at Bergey's Breadbasket.
We will need volunteer drivers! So, if you are available, please contact Rick or Linda at cgmuth@gmail.com
This is our annual event with other youth groups from our circuit. It will be a fun evening of hayrides, corn maze, and bonfires for roasting hot dogs and making s’mores, plus devotion time. We will meet at Hope at 5:15pm and return about 9:30pm. The cost for the evening is $10. Sign up and payment are due by Sunday, October 20th.
This is a great opportunity for them to invite friends to join us. We will need parents to help drive, so let me know if you can help. Your food will be covered and if you want to do the maze it will cost $8.

Events: Surge
We just found out about a Christian event coming to the Lynnhaven theater this Wednesday, Oct. 09. It is called Surge and is described as a "high energy, interactive movie theater event fusing music, comedy and inspirational messages".
TRUTH and our BODY confirmation students (not in First Communion class) are planning to go. The show starts at 7:00pm at the AMC LYNNHAVEN 18 Theatre, 1001 Lynnhaven Mall Loop, Virginia Beach, Virginia, 23452 .
We need to be there by 6:30pm and the group will plan to leave church by 6:00pm. If your youth would like to go they can either meet us at church by 6:00pm or at the theater by 6:30pm. If meeting there, they should call/email one of the leaders so we can meet up with them.
If you are planning to eat at church first, be sure they are there right at 5:30pm so they have time.
The cost of the event is $12.50. You can go online and purchase tickets in advance (which I recommend since it is only being shown once in this area). We will be back to church by 9:00pm.
If your youth is planning to go, please let Linda Muth know ASAP so, we can plan for transportation or know to be looking for them if they meet us there.
For those not wanting to go, there will be a leader staying at church to lead Hang Out time in the Loft like usual. Sorry this is such short notice, but I think it will be an exciting event.
For more information and ticket sales, you can go to www.surgeexperience.com.
