Video overviews of Books of the Bible (by Bible Project)

• bibleproject.com/explore/book-overviews/
• We have used these videos in class for an overview of the Bible as we go through the history.

Confirmation instruction is for 7th and 8th graders and their parents.

Two years of instruction

• Bible Overview (Chronologically cover the major themes and stories of the Bible)

• Basics of Our Christian Faith (Martin Luther's Small Catechism)

Confirmation is a rite of passage for our youth where they are instructed in the Christian faith in which they were Baptized and to which now they will make a personal commitment to claim this faith as their own.
