SUNDAY SCHOOL

P.A.C.K.
During COVID-19, Sunday school kits are distributed to families. Our family-based program follows the lectionary (the scripture readings, children’s sermon, and Pastor’s sermon you will hear on the designated Sunday). Set aside approximately 30 minutes to participate as a family on Sunday morning before you watch our worship service to follow these FAITH5 steps:
  1. Share Highs and Lows from the week
  2. Read the Bible verse or story of the day
  3. Talk about how this Bible reading might relate to you (or your highs/lows).
  4. Pray for each other’s highs/lows
  5. Bless one another

Our Faith Milestone Program is also part of our program.  Each packet is specific to the age of your children and their particular milestone or age. Look for those instructions separately. This will help your younger children stay occupied during worship and will provide your older children incentive to keep up with their Faith Milestones.

Family Faith Time

Together in Faith - a milestone based curriculum where each class has a milestone to reach by the end of the school year. Each class has a chance to participate in worship during our "Milestone Worship Service" at the end of May.
  1. Text Books – the Bible is our text book for every grade level. Bibles are provided in classrooms for 3yo-2nd grade. Children received their own Bibles as a gift from the church in 3rd grade. From this point on, the children bring their Bible each week.

COVID-19 Home Sunday School Assignments:
We wanted to help 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students become better acquainted. We named this group “The PACK” – Pre-comfirmation Activities at Church for Kids.

P.A.C.K. is on hiatus during COVID-19. Watch for other opportunities!

Our goal is to provide an opportunity for our students to build relationships with one another, God, and their church family.  Many students in our Sunday School classes attend different schools. We want to give them the opportunity to really get to know each other, as it is hard to do in few minutes we have of Sunday School each week.
 
We have planned gatherings once a month October-April that run from 6:30-8:30pm here at English Lutheran Church.  This is designed for our 4th, 5th and 6th grade students.
            6:30-6:45       Prayer/Devotions from one of our Pastors
            6:45-8:00       Activity planned for the evening
            8:00-8:25       Snack and “social hour”
            8:25-8:30       Closing Prayer

We also like parents to volunteer as chaperone and provide snacks/drinks.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL 

Every year we start our summer with Vacation Bible School. We offer a morning Pre-School program for children ages 3-5, and we invite Sugar Creek Bible Camp staff to work with children entering grades 1-5. The week is filled with energy, new songs, and a great Bible study curriculum. VBS provides a wonderful ministry to children! Vacation Bible School for 2021 is June 20-24. Please watch for more information on how to register your children!

SUGAR CREEK BIBLE CAMP

We are so fortunate to have Sugar Creek Bible Camp just a few minutes away. Sugar Creek offers many camps for many people! There is Summer Bible Camp, Confirmation Camp, Family Camp, Explorer Day, and others!

Scholarships are available. Contact Niki Pohnl for more details.
