Three youths are confirmed at Trinity
Confirming their Baptismal
Covenant with God in 10:20
a.m. Worship at Trinity Luth-
eran Church Sunday, May 23,
were llhrec ninth grade young
people of the congregation.
Confirmed were Marcus Anz,
Karri Stanford and Nancy
Struempler.
Theme of the service, which
marked the Sixth Sunday of
the Easter Season, was “Jesus'
Circle of Friends" from the
sormon text and Sunday Gos-
pel, John 15:0-17. These are
Jesus, familiar words to his
followers in which he repeats
Jlis hew commandment, “Love
one another, just as I love
you."
"Confirmation is a celebra-
tion of the congregation in
which youth are invited to
participate in a special way.
Each was baptized some years
previous and so was brought
by God into a covenant rela-
tionship with Himself and into
Christ’s Church. Over the
years from Infancy on, each
has been taught, Christian
truth by parents, congregation
and pastors," the Rev. Ted
Steenblock, pastor, explained.
The last two years the group
received extensive instruction
from the pastor in weekly
Wednesday classes, in addition
to Sunday School classes.
During the Rite of Confir-
mation, while the group knelt
before the altar, each confir-
mand recited his memorized
Bible verse over the sound s,,c
term ,’
and.'

"Upon their personal deci-
sion, each, in the recent Sun-
day’s service, confirmed his;
individual Baptismal Covenant
with God and faith in Christ
as personal Savior and Lord,
andipromised with God's help
to bp loyal to Him,” Pastor
Steenblock continued.
