This semester we began a small group discussion regarding confirmation because for many of us, it had been a long time since we were confirmed. What began as a five week course, now has up struggling to complete it in the semester. We take time every Monday morning to read a section of Luther’s Small Catechism and discuss what his views are. We often find ourselves caught up in wording such as, “Give us today our daily bread” from the Lord’s Prayer. Luther says, “God gives daily bread, even without our prayer, to all people, though sinful.” We were caught in the idea of why there are still hungry people in the world if we are given our daily bread. But we were reminded that daily bread is not just literal food, but also the spiritual enlightenment we have the opportunity to receive. Overall, the revisiting of Confirmation Class has allowed us to dive deeper into Luther’s ideals of the 10 Commandments, The LORD’s Prayer, and the Apostle’s Creed. Many LCM-C participants were disappointed their schedule did not provide time for them to attend, so we will offer this class again in the fall.
