An Explanation of the Action Module
The action module is based on spiritual disciplines, which help us live an active faith. These actions are based in active worship attendance, being in God’s Word, prayer, accountability and serving. All of these pieces need to be completed 2 weeks prior to the date you would like to be confirmed.
Sermon Notes A401
Jesus spent a lot of time listening to His Father. We have the opportunity each Sunday to listen to what God has to say to us and apply it to our lives. Therefore, we are requiring 30 sermon notes to be completed as part of this module (averages to 10 a year). These sermon notes can be completed at any Sunday service, any special worship service, through listening to the sermon on the web, or at a church where you are visiting. If you take notes at another church you must turn in the sermon note form and the bulletin from that service. In order to get credit for the completion of a sermon summary all information asked for on the sermon summary form must be completed. If there are blanks on the sermon note sheet the sheet will be handed back to the student to complete. Sermon note forms can be found at the information desk or download here.
Servant Events (A402 and A403)
Jesus not only told us to love our neighbors He modeled His entire life after serving others. Servanthood is a way Christians respond to the redeeming love Christ has shown for us. The blessing of serving others is a sign of spiritual maturity and devotion. He expects us to serve others as well. Therefore, during their participation in the Foundations program students must complete 30 servant hours that benefit other people outside of their family or go on a mission trip. When a student conducts some type of service they are to fill out a servant event form and turn it in. These forms can be found on-line on the www.wlcyouth.org website.
Here are some servant opportunities below:
- Nursery on a Sunday morning
- Being a Sunday School helper
- Helping with Vacation Bible School
- Practicing and performing in New Vibration bell choir
- Being a part of music ensembles
- Outside church sanctioned servant events
- Loaves and Fishes: serving supper to those in need (2nd Thursday of every month)
- Group Works Camp/Youthworks Mission Trip (summer)
Sunday School (Powerhouse/Sunday Impact) Attendance A404
It is very important that a student continually studies the Word of God. Therefore, once a student starts the Foundation program he/she must attend 39 complete sessions of the Powerhouse (Sunday morning education). This means that the student must be there at the beginning and at the end of the session.
All Dressed Up Drama A405
This is a very powerful evening that is put on by a drama group that involves area Woodbury churches. It talks about the choices and consequences of sexual decisions and promotes purity. We ask that one parent attend with their student because this information really needs to be followed up with within the home. There are usually 2 offerings of this each year one in the fall and one in the spring. We only require that a student attend once during the 3 years.
Foundation Interviews (A408 and A508)
There will be two interviews that we will do during a student’s time in the Foundations program. This will help us to do 3 things.
1. To evaluate where the student currently is in their faith walk.
2. To evaluate the Foundations program and make needed changes.
3. To make an action plan with the student on their continued faith journey.
These interviews will be conducted after they finish their Faith Framework section of the program and after completion of the Cornerstone portion of the program.
Invite a Friend to Worship/or Event (A407)
We ask that each foundations student practice praying for and inviting others to know their friend Jesus. That is why we have this requirement, we ask that during the 3 years each student invite someone to a worship service or event and turn in an “Invite a friend to Worship” card. Invite a friend to Worship cards can be found at www.wlcyouth.org/resources/forms/ or downstairs in the youth display rack. Invite a friend to worship and complete the card. Turn the cards in where sermon notes are returned by the mailboxes upstairs.
