Fall Bible Study Curriculum 2010
This fall, the High school Bible class will follow closely what Pastor Fiene is teaching in the Adult Bible Study. We are doing this so that families will be able to do the readings and explore this topic together. We will be focusing on the Smalcald articles which are articles of Christian Doctrine which were to have been presented by our party at the Council in Mantua, or wherever else the Council was to have been convened, and which were to indicate what we could or could not accept or yield. They were written by Dr. Martin Luther in the year 1537. Each week we will explore one of the portions of the Articles and then discuss how it relates to our christian faith.
AYT- Advanced Youth Training
What is AYT? AYT stands for Advanced Youth Training. AYT’s purpose is to give enrichment education that will prepare the youth for learning in life. It is anything that goes above and beyond the normal Sunday Bible Study attendance. AYT has enjoyed traveling to various places for the purpose of deepening their understanding of the Lutheran faith and history, while also enjoying social activities and getting to know each other better. Once every three years, youth are invited to participate in the congregation's Lutheran Heritage Tour to Europe, where we visit sites of importance to Christian history such that the Lutheran faith comes alive. Some previous trips have included New York, Minnesota, Colorado and North Carolina. It also includes anyone who comes to Wednesday night Bible study; or during this years World Religion Study, anyone who goes on a visit to a church, or comes to hear our guest speakers. Attendance at AYT events means that you will be given primary consideration when applying for scholarships for the Heritage Tour. Next Trip is set for Summer 2011 to Scandinavia. Don’t Miss it!
