Scripture: Going deep with midrash* and application

Jr. High uses a resource from the Institute for Bible Reading called Immerse Luke/Acts (NLT). This Bible reading method has the heart of Godly Play inviting curiosity and wonder around the story of Scripture. After reading the passages for the day aloud, the class discusses the text around these questions:

  • Did anything make you think differently about Jesus?

  • Was there anything confusing or troubling?

  • How might you do something this week to practice what we are learning?

*Midrash is a way of engaging with the Bible that utilizes investigation / study

Practices

Prayer

Students will be invited to share prayer requests and pray for each other at the end of class.

Serving

One Sunday morning a month, instead of meeting for class, students will be invited to “shadow” an adult volunteer on one of our many teams during worship services. That night, students are invited to “Pizza, play and Ask Anything” with Pastor Matt and the team.

Friendship

There will be opportunities to grow deeper in friendship and community throughout the year. Some upcoming offerings are Jr. High Worship team and a Camping Trip in June.

Preparing for Confirmation

Each class will include time to connect with hot drinks, reading aloud and wondering through the Scriptures, and praying for one another.

Year 1 will be a deep dive into the life of Jesus in the book of Luke.
Year 2 will focus on life in the church in the book of Acts.
This two-year journey lands in an invitation to be confirmed in June of 2027.

What does it mean to be confirmed? At Trinity, we like to point out two things about confirmation: it involves you confirming your faith in God AND God confirming who He has made you to be.

Confirmation is the laying on of the bishop’s hands with prayer for strengthening by the Holy Spirit, following a period of formation. In confirmation, you are further empowered and gifted by the Holy Spirit for daily growth in wisdom, courage, and humility before God in every aspect of your life and work.
