Sunday School
One of the most important areas of education at First
Lutheran is Sunday School. Our Sunday School program is open to
everyone. We offer classes for children age 2 - Adults. Our
students may attend the 9:30 hour of Sunday School.
Our 2 year old through Kindergarten use Group Publishing materials
that focus on one Bible passage for a four week period. The
curriculum is hands on which allows students to learn about the
Bible in multiple ways.
First grade - High School use lectionary-based materials
published by
Augsburg Fortress. This means that the lessons that
students hear in worship on Sunday morning are the same lessons
they study in class. This gives students the opportunity to hear
the lesson a number of times during that Sunday.
One of the elements of Christian life that we are introducing
to 2-year olds through 5th grade will be studying prayer and
Luther's Small Catechism. In March the 2-year old - kindergarten
will spend one Sunday leading us in the prayer of the day. Later
in the month the 1 - 5 grade will lead us in portions of
Luther's Small Catechism.
Our Sunday School children's offerings are divided in half.
Half stays here at First and assists in the ministry of the
parish and Sunday School. The other half is divided into three
areas of community giving to assist in a benevolence ministry.
There are a number of Sunday School activities that are fun and
educational. The children's Christmas programs, Sunday School
music, Special Festival Sunday themes and Rally Sunday are a
few.
Our parish also has Parish Protection Program in place to
ensure that our young people are safe as they participate in
events within our church. Everyone who works with children at
First Lutheran must attend Parish Protection Training events
prior to being with our youth. As part of this program people
are required to fill out a form so that a background check may
be completed.
If you are interested in being involved in our Sunday School
program as a teacher or helper please contact the church office.
One of our staff people or members of the Sunday School Ministry
Team will be in touch with you.
We also offer an adult class on Sunday morning at 9:30. |
