Children (3 years-5th Grade). Sunday School children gather on Sundays at 8:30 a.m. in Henderson Hall. Each Sunday we will have a breakfast snack available as the children arrive. We begin with an opening time of music and hearing the story of the day followed by break offs by age group. The children will read and learn about the Gospel message that we will all hear in the worship service on that Sunday. Each child will receive their own Bible so they can follow along not only in Sunday School but also in worship if they would like. Each month the learn a song that will be sung in worship that month. Sunday School Registration Form. When your child is ready, ask about classes for First Communion.
Middle School (Grades 6-8). Confirmation has long been a tradition of the Lutheran church. It is a time where congregations support a parent’s promises made in baptism to learn the scripture, the creeds, 10 commandments, and the Lord’s Prayer and to assist young people in composing a life of faith. Confirmation is not just a place of information learning of history, scripture and traditions but also a time to ask questions, raise doubts, serve your neighbor and have experiences of Christian community and fellowship. Confirmation classes are held Sunday afternoons 4:30-6:00 p.m.. To register your child, save the attached Confirmation Registration Form to your desktop; fill it out and save; return it to Kim Hendee via email khendee@stlukespr.org
