CONFIRMATION

 

This is a multi-year program on the basics of our Christian faith, through a Lutheran lens! Students usually begin the program in grade eight.
As we offer this program at Gloria Dei, we also connect with other Lutheran youth, and community groups, to build friendships.

​

 

 

​

CHILDREN'S PROGRAM
 

Sunday School lessons are offered during the Sunday morning worship service;

children from pre-school to grade seven are welcome and invited!

 

During the pandemic, we made some resources available online:

A playlist of videos is available here (each lesson is around 10 minutes long)

Some resources for downloading and using at home are available here.
A Palm Sunday resource available here.
A video about Palm Sunday and Maundy Thursday, here.
A video about Good Friday and Easter, here.

​

While not Christian education, per se, this link will take you to some learning opportunities

from the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, which certainly have overlapping values with our faith!
