Important Forms

Sundays 10-10:50am (4 years old – 5th grade)
Story & Play: Children learn they are created and loved by God through songs, prayers, play, activities, and using the Sparkhouse curriculum. 

Milestone Classes (3-week series)

at various times throughout the year classes are offered to a specific age group focusing on what we define as a faith development milestone. These classes include:
Walk through the Bible – 3/4th graders (and a guardian) take a close look at scripture and Bible stories in order to get a good baseline of what the Bible is and how to use it as Lutheran Christians. Each child receives their own Bible in worship at the end of the class.
Acolyte Training – 4/5th graders (and a guardian) dive deep into our liturgy to discover why our worship space is set up the way it is, and learn how to be a leader in worship. Each child is presented in worship with a special cross to wear when they acolyte. 
Communion Instruction – Elementary aged children (and a guardian) learn about the sacrament of Holy Communion through a detailed lesson on the story of Exodus, the Last Supper, and baking real communion bread for worship. This milestone is celebrated when they receive communion at the evening Maundy Thursday dinner worship service.
