The people of Mount Olive are heading down Root 66!
Root 66 is an evening of relationship building and small group Bible study for your entire family, held each Sunday evening at Mount Olive from 6:00-7:30 p.m.
The Bible is God’s living voice in the lives of His people. The 66 books that make up the Bible all point us to one person: Jesus Christ!
Studying the Bible together is our "root" at Mount Olive! It’s where we find strength for our daily lives as Christ-followers.
Studying the Bible together is also our "route" at Mount Olive! It’s a lifelong journey that’s full of tremendous blessings and discoveries!

Run for a total of 9 consecutive weeks (every Sunday evening through November 9, 2008)
.
Begin in September 2008 with an "Overview of the Bible" small group study. Additional studies will begin in January 2009.
Confirmation Instruction
Confirmation instruction with Pastor Jeff Alexander is offered for youth in grades 6-7, plus any older youth who desire to be confirmed in the Lutheran faith. From September through May, the confirmation class will be taking part in an interactive overview of the entire Bible, Genesis to Revelation. In addition, the confirmation class will be introduced to the "six chief parts" of Christian doctrine, as summarized in Luther’s Small Catechism (Ten Commandments, Apostles’ Creed, Lord’s Prayer, Baptism, Communion, Office of the Keys). The culmination of confirmation instruction will be on Confirmation Sunday,May 17, 2009, when those who have completed two years of instruction will be invited to publicly profess their faith in Jesus Christ and commit themselves to a life of discipleship.
