CONFIRMATION

Confirmation Kids Commercialize Soup Supper – Challenge Other Groups to Compete!

Because the commercials are always a highlight at our Lenten Soup Suppers (“It’s a real hot item, Jerry’s Bread!”), this year the DLC confirmation mentors and mentees are trying something new.  The February 29th Soup Supper skit will be a “Commercial Competition” – where each confirmation student will produce and act in a commercial to sell the audience a Bible.

But not just any Bible. Each student will be touting the features and benefits of his/her own, unique Bible. As with all advertising, we will take liberties with the truth. (One Bible might be autographed by Moses. Another might be autographed by Brad Pitt…) 

At the end of the commercials, the Soup Supper studio audience will choose the winning Bible salesperson.  Fabulous prizes include leftover soup, cookies and such.

Here’s our challenge to other DLC groups:  Let’s have a similar “Commercial Competition” for every Soup Supper this season. We’re looking at you:

·      Bell Choir members – Expound on why your bells are better! 

·      Women’s Circle – Pontificate on your favorite Lutheran Pot Luck recipe!  (A Green Jello vs. Green Bean Casserole throwdown!)

·      Sunday School Kids – Who’s better: Gilbert or Stephanus, and why?

·      Choir Members – Why not wax poetic on your favorite hymn?

·      Council Members – Sell the church!  (Yikes. That doesn’t sound right.)  What we mean is, promote the characteristics that make DLC unique.

Let’s have some fun with this!  Let Pastor know if your group is ready for a “Commercial Competition” during Soup Supper.

Cordially,

Confirmation Kids & Mentors

A Few Thoughts on The Lord's Prayer 

I cannot pray Our, if my faith has no room for others and their need.

I cannot pray Father, if I do not demonstrate this relationship to God in my             daily living.

I cannot pray who art in heaven, if all of my interests and pursuits are in             earthly things.

I cannot pray hallowed by thy name, if I am not striving, with God's help, to be holy.

I cannot pray thy kingdom come, if I am unwilling to accept God's rule in  my life.

I cannot pray thy will be done, if I am unwilling or resentful of having it in my life.

I cannot pray on earth as it is in Heaven, unless I am truly ready to give my self to God's service here and now.

I cannot pray give us this day our daily bread, without expending honest effort for it, or if I would withhold from my neighbor the bread that I receive.

I cannot pray forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass    against us, if I continue to harbor a grudge against anyone.

I cannot pray lead us not into temptation, if I deliberately choose to remain             in a situation where I am likely to be tempted.

I cannot pray deliver us from evil, if I am not prepared to fight evil with my             life and my prayer.

I cannot pray thine is the kingdom, if I an unwilling to obey the King.

I cannot pray thine is the power and the glory, if I am seeking power for             myself and my own glory first.

I cannot pray forever and ever, if I am too anxious about each day's affairs.

I cannot pray Amen, unless I honestly say, "Cost what it may, this is my prayer."

The Prayer Shawl Ministry, practiced in many churches throughout the world, is now part of the ministry at Deerfield Lutheran. It is a way to send a message of our love, hope and comfort to those in Biloxi, Mississippi who survived Hurricane Katrina.  Currently over twenty shawls, knit or crocheted, will be sent to Biloxi. They are now on display in the church and will be blessed on Sunday, May 20th.  This ministry will be continuing to help those in need of comfort, love, and hope to those in need.
