What is Confirmation about anyway?
77At Bethlehem, Confirmation is an opportunity for our youth (typically 7th-9th graders) to learn more about what it means to be Lutheran, what it means to a believing Christian, what it means to live our discipleship, and what it means to take personal responsibility for the promises that parents make when we are baptized.
Through a mixture of games, learning, and discipleship experiences, our youth learn what it means to be an active disciple in the world today, and choose for themselves if that is something that they want to do.

Does worship really matter?
We believe at Bethlehem worshipping is a part of how we offer praise to God, hear the Word spoken aloud, and are fed at the table. In this time of pandemic, we still believe that worship is important, and encourage confirmation families to worship together however that might look in these days.
Student are encouraged to fill out worship notes, which can be found here.
