SUNDAY SCHOOL
We believe that kids’ lives will be transformed when they spend time in God’s Word and with His family. On Sunday mornings, we explore God’s Word and play and talk together. We learn what it means to follow Jesus together. All classes meet on Sunday mornings from 9:15 - 10:15 a.m.

• Children 0 – 2 years old meet in the nursery and are introduced to the basic stories of the Bible through song, stories and play.
• Children in preschool and kindergarten gather for songs, interactive Bible stories and play as they discover how much God loves them.
• Students in 1st - 6th grade will explore God’s Word, play games, sing and learn what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.

CONFIRMATION
Confirmation supports families in preparing for the Rite of Confirmation — when students publicly profess their faith. Students will study the basics of our Lutheran faith, the basics of discipleship and how to follow Jesus in this world. Confirmation students will also be assigned to a “huddle” group led by a high school leader. In these Confirmation huddles, students will discuss the teaching of the day and ask, “What is God saying to me?” and “What will I do about it?” This two-year program is for 7th and 8th grade students and meets on Sunday mornings from 9:15 - 10:15 a.m. (September - April)

HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH BIBLE CLASS
Youth in grades 9-12 meet Sunday mornings from 9:15 – 10:15 a.m. for fellowship, devotions and Bible studies relevant to the issues facing teens today.

FAITH MILESTONE CLASSES

• Pray & Play: This Saturday morning play-date style gathering will allow parents of 3 year olds to get to know one another and practice ways to pray and share Jesus with their preschoolers. Families will receive a rhyming picture Bible to read at home. This is a one-day class, and date is announced each year in church communications and on our website.

• Splash Baptism: Kindergarten children and parents attend three interactive sessions to remember the child’s baptism. This is a great age to use fun activities to explore what God has done in Baptism and lay a strong foundation for their identity in Christ. This is a three-week class, and dates are announced each year in church communications and on our website.

• First Bible: Third graders and parents learn how to use the Bible and are given background information for key portions of the Bible. SOTV gifts each child with a new age-appropriate Bible. Participants will receive a special recognition and blessing in worship at the conclusion of this class. This is a three-week class, and dates are announced each year in church communications and on our website.

• Communion Prep Classes: Parents and 6th-grade students learn about the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Following these sessions youth will be invited to participate in Holy Communion. This is a three-week class, and dates are announced each year in church communications and on our website.

SECOND SATURDAY PLAYDATES
Parents (or grandparents) and children ages 3-5 are invited to an unstructured playtime with toys, bubbles and space to run around. Enjoy casual conversation and connection time for parents and caregivers. Light snacks and coffee will be provided (Feel free to bring something to share!). Each playdate will include an interactive Bible Story break for kids. This group will meet rain or shine (outdoor play when weather allows; indoors when it gets cold or rainy).
