When children grow physically, they reach milestones along the way. They learn to crawl, walk, speak, etc. The same is true when they grow spiritually! Two very important milestones are baptism (becoming part of the family of God) and confirmation (publicly professing faith and taking the Lord’s Supper). However, there are other milestones that children reach that deserve to be celebrated! These milestones include learning to worship, serve and read the Bible.
St. Luke’s is excited to offer opportunities to celebrate these milestones at age 4, kindergarten and second grade. Parents (and in some cases children) are invited to attend three classes in which they will learn how to make faith an integral part of their life at home and encourage their children as they grow spiritually. At the end of each session of classes, parents and children will be invited to the front of the church as the children receive a blessing object that can be used at home.
