The Sunday School begins at 9:30 am with an opening service. In which the children participate in; as acolyte, reading of the prayer of the day, the gospel and the collecting of the offering. The children also recite the Confession, the Lords Prayer and sing the Doxology at our opening service. Then they go to their classrooms to learn the lesson that the teachers have prepared. Each child works towards getting a Wall of Fame medal. If a child can recite; The Lords Prayer, The Ten Commandments and The Apostles Creed they will received a beautiful medal
engraved with their name on it and their picture goes on the Wall of Fame bulletin board. In 2009, Two students received a medal and the Wall of Fame still continues to be in affect.
The Sunday School teachers teach God's word with a fun filled curriculum called "Spark". Every Bible lesson is taught in four steps. 1. Gather: Welcome children and prepare them to hear the Bible story 2. Open the Bible and explore the story in interactive, age appropriate ways. 3. Activate Faith: Try a variety of multisentory activities that integrate Bible learning with life. 4: Send: Come together for a brief lesson wrap up and closing prayer. Every age-level has a Bible learning goal specific for that age. Our Sunday school begins with Pre-Kindergarten (age 3-4) and goes to Seventh grade. Then the 8th grade students go to Confirmation Class with Pastor Alex. During the year the 2nd grade students will attend First Communion class with Pastor Alex and go on to receive their First communion with a beautiful service.
