Here we: IGNITE our Faith, Live in Relationship, and Wonder Bravely
Middle School Ministry, IGNITE, meets on Wednesdays during the school year from 6:30-7:30pm. All 6-8th graders are welcome to join us as we dive deeper into questions of faith, build relationships with our community, and serve those around us! Together we wrestle and wonder about the Gospel and what it means to live a life that is formed and reformed by God’s grace. Middle School Ministry continues into the ninth-grade year when students complete a faith embodied project prior to celebrating their Affirmation of Baptism!
If you have any questions, would like to attend, or want to connect please contact Jacob Boettcher Belz at jboettcher@normluth.org.
