Education

Sunday School
Our faith community includes a group of children ranging in age from pre-school through high school. We are given opportunities to provide educational moments for these young people during our worship services each Sunday as well as at other times. It's important for us to connect Sunday with Monday through Saturday. God is interested in our everyday routine as well as our worship experience.

Since Sunday School attendance cannot be predicted, we are using the One Room Sunday School curriculum published by Abington Press. This material is geared to provide lectionary based lessons for smaller sized Sunday Schools. The teacher's guide provides alternative projects that can be tailored to specific situations. The resource guide provides reproduceable weekly lessons rather than being grade or age oriented. The material is structured according to broad-based categories (i.e. non-readers, beginning readers, and skilled readers). As a result, we benefit from providing a variety of materials and learning experiences. The material includes arts and crafts, interactive Bible stories/studies and Bible-based/lesson oriented games.

Confirmation
This year our Confirmation students are using a brand-new resource from Augsburg-Fortress: "Here We Stand," a web-based curriculum that uses the engaging newly-published Lutheran Handbook, which is already exceptionally popular across the country.

Adult Education
Our Adult Bible Study group uses material that parallels that used by our younger children, studying the lectionary material in greater depth, asking probing questions, and discovering what the Scriptures are saying to us as adult Christians, growing continually in our faith.
