Hello!
We are in our second session of weekday school! My seventh grade class is continuing to review the 10 commandments, and if we have time, we will introduce the creed.
***If you are following these lessons online, because you are not attending class you must read the post on expectations below and schedule a time to meet with Pastor Mews or Pastor Zach.
Lesson 2: Here we go!
1) God gives the Ten Commandments to Israel in Exodus 20. Be able to find this in your bible when you meet with one of the pastors.
2) Pay attention to the where God appears on the mountain. (Exodus 19:16-25)
What was the name of the mountain where God gave the 10 Commandments?
Describe the scene to me around the mountain from Exodus 19:16-25.
What did it look like? What sounds were heard? What did Moses forbid the Israelites from doing?
3) Recite Commandments 1-3 from memory.
-------------------------
Intro to the Creed
1) There are three creeds: 1) The Apostle's Creed 2) Nicene Creed 3) Athanasian Creed
You can find these creeds in a hymnal or you can "google" them. If you would like a copy of these creeds speak with one of the pastors.
Look over the three creeds, be ready to share some ways that they are different.
2) The Apostle's Creed begins with these two words: "I believe". What does it mean to you when you say you believe in something?
3) How does it affect your life when you really believe in something?

What two statements summarized the 10 Commandments?
2) Discuss with your parents why we still need the 10 commandments. Share your answer with Pastor Zach or Pastor Mews when you are scheduled to meet.
3) Memorize the first three commandments and recite them when you meet with one of the pastors.
Please Post any questions or Comments you may have. Please remember that you must speak with Pastor Mews or Pastor Zach to schedule a time to discuss this session.

Expectations
Before you begin any of our online sessions speak with Pastor Mews or Pastor Zach. We will discuss our expectations of your involvement in weekday school. You will also be given information regarding fees, class schedule, the Weekday School Handbook, projects, service hours, and worship/ Sunday school attendance. All of this information is necessary for you to complete St. Peter's confirmation requirements.
This blog is only meant for those who are in grades 6-8 who have a conflict that forces them to miss Wednesday night classes AND for those who are in High School who have not yet completed confirmation. If you are able to attend Weekday School this online curriculum is not for you.
If you are using this blog you must meet with Pastor Mews or Pastor Zach on a regular basis. This will be your chance to ask any questions, and to demonstrate that you are learning the material. This is also a chance for Pastor Mews and Pastor Zach to help you in your journey to be confirmed and, more importantly, to grow closer to your Savior Jesus Christ. If you do not understand the material, or if you are not completing the work properly we will ask you to repeat a session.
You are responsible for completing all projects, service hours, worship/ Sunday school attendance requirements, scheduling times with to meet with a pastor, and attending Wednesday night classes whenever you can make it. This is not an easier path than Weekday school on Wednesday nights. However, Pastor Mews or Pastor Zach will help you in any way we can. If you are able to attend weekday school at any point throughout the year you are expected to do so.
Feel free to comment on this blog, email (zach@stpeters-epil.com), or call (309-699-5411). Our goal is to confirm as many as possible; however, it is more important that the basics of the Christian faith are learned by all. If you meet the above requirements we welcome you to start with the first lesson on the 10 Commandments.
God's Blessings!
