Sunday School
All Sunday School classes meet at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings during the school year.
Sunday School encompasses pre-school through high school. Middle School and High School age groups follow a different format than the pre-school and elementary ages.
Pre-school to 5th grade
There are separate classrooms for Pre-school, grades K-1, 2-3, and 4-5
Middle School Sunday School
We are excited to be starting a new format for our Middle School students in grades 6-8. They will enjoy a forum format with various topics to discuss. This class is taught by Ronda Buck and Kristen Blundell.
High School Sunday School
"World's Most Dangerous Bible Study"
Yes! We have a High School Sunday School. So many of our youth have come to us with great questions about how their faith relates to their life. So we have created a place to come and talk about faith and life. One of the things that we will be talking about is our music and how our music relates to our faith. Bring in your favorite song and we will talk about what the lyrics say about life and faith. High school Sunday school will be taught by Sharon Olson, Brendon Peach, and Greg Schairer.
Lent (Adult Education)
Sundays, 9:30 - 10:30 am
February 26th - March 25th 2012
What do you know about Lent? We hear a lot of people talking about giving something up for Lent, but why?
Join Pastor Joel and Pastor Sonja for the 5 Sundays of Lent as we gather information and experiences regarding Lent, and focus on God's unrelenting love for us in this season. We will explore the background, meaning, and purpose of Lent; the traditional Lenten faith practices; and how we can live out these Lenten practices in our lives today.
Lutheran Forum
Discussions every Sunday morning at 9:45 a.m.
So what is a "Lutheran Forum"?
- an opportunity to explore the ethical choices that Lutherans face
- a gathering open to anyone every Sunday morning between services
- a conversation selected by and guided by participants
- a dialog based on short readings that don't have to be read to participate
- a lively discussion with humor, honesty, and shared experiences
- never a lecture, video, hidden agendas, or all the answers
- a community focused on provocative readings--emailed each week
- an alternative class--one new topic per week, come whenever you can
- a bunch of Lutherans seeking to act faithfully in a complex world
- a bunch of Lutherans searching and listening--without an expert
- a meaningful way to spend 45 minutes on Sunday Mornings
- a place for talkers to discuss current issues and theological concerns
