Classes preparing children for their First Holy Communion generally begin around ages 10 or 11. They last for a month or so. Children are taught that the sacrament is sacred and a gift to be cherished and not taken lightly. They typically receive their First Holy Communion after they have completed their classes on Maundy Thursday.

How do you write a personal creed for a Lutheran confirmation?

Writing a "personal creed" is actually against what Luther taught. If your pastor or church is making you write a "personal creed" then you should simply write out the Apostle's or Nicene Creed. Tell them that this is your "personal creed" and it is also the creed of the entire church. Tell them that Christians are not supposed to confess their own personal versions of the faith, Christians are supposed to confess "the faith which was once and for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 3). We do this individually and together in the creed. - A Lutheran Pastor in Southern California
