AMPED No-GS

MIDDLE SCHOOL MINISTRY AT GOOD SHEPHERD

Confirmation at Good Shepherd (we call it AMPED)

AMPED is a relationally based three year confirmation program for 6th-8th grade students.  Through a combination of large group and small group time, students practice Christian community, engage with sacred stories, and discover how our faith interacts meaningfully with the world around us.

We help young people develop their spirituality within our Lutheran tradition as well as engage in the work of public theology. Both of these arms of our faith are important as we  navigate living out our faith in a changing world.

At the end of their 3rd year, 8th grade students have the opportunity, if they choose, to affirm their baptismal promises through our Affirmation of Baptism, and continuing their spiritual journey.

The AMPED Experience

Part of AMPED confirmation is being in worship and service with our church community. We ask our young people to share with us about 12 of those experiences throughout they year by filling out worship notes and service experience slips. We ask them to worship at each of our 3 services once throughout the year. The options available at Good Shepherd are the 9:00am service at our Madison Campus, and the 10:00am and 6:00pm services at our Verona Campus.

An End of Summer Blessing

Darkness comes earlier now,

The fruit trees are ripe.

The fields are harvest ready,

The animals hear their call to migrate or hibernate or nest make.

Creation knows and trusts the rhythm of the Creator.

May we too move through this seasonal change trusting the Creator’s presence and provision.

May we learn to dance on shifting ground, release what is ripe, and keep the sabbath beat.

In our living and our giving,

In our growing and our harvesting,

In our resting and our returning,

May we trust the faithfulness of God
in our unfinished,
unfolding lives.
