New! Confirmation Ministry Self-Study (383113) was developed after a synodwide
survey, follow-up study, and thorough discussion by WELS Commission on Youth
Discipleship (CYD) and its Confirmation Ministry Task Force led to the
conclusion that a self-study process would best assist WELS congregations. When
used as designed, this resource will help congregation leaders to reflect,
evaluate, and improve their congregation's confirmation ministry.

The resource includes the following:
1) A DVD showcasing new models/approaches used around WELS.
2) A CD containing all the directions, worksheets, and templates needed to
conduct the self-study.
3) Access to a special Web area of "home-grown" resources from around WELS.

Price: $14.95.
