Sunday School at Hope Lutheran Church
Our Sunday School program focuses on the teachings of the Bible and the life of Jesus in a fun and engaging learning environment.
Sunday School Every Week at Hope
Our Sunday School classes are held each Sunday of the month. Children ages preschool-middle school are invited to begin worship with their families.
On the first and third Sundays of the month, there is no children’s chat during the worship service. Children are dismissed to Sunday School before the Bible readings. Children will return to their families for communion to receive a special blessing at the altar rail.
On the second, fourth, and fifth Sundays of the month, children are dismissed to Sunday School following the children’s chat. Families can meet their children in the fellowship hall at the end of worship.
One Sunday a month during worship all Sunday School classes combine to carry out a church or community service project. These Service Sundays include projects such as packing Thanksgiving meal bags for families in Aurora and treat bags for worshippers. We invite all children to join us for these opportunities to be the hands and feet of Jesus!
Sunday School in March 2026
Sunday School classes will continue meeting every week and will explore the ministry of Jesus and how we can apply it in our lives.
On March 15th, all children at Hope at invited to make fresh Lenten pretzels during the entire worship service. The twisted shape of the pretzels resemble two arms crossed in prayer and serve as a symbol of repentance during the time of Lent. Children will serve the fresh pretzels to the congregation following the worship service that day.
**Please note that Sunday School will consist of a craft ONLY during the sermon on Easter Sunday.*****
Sunday School Update Winter 2026
The servant hearts of Hope’s youth were have been hard at work! All the children assembled Valentine’s Day bags with knitted or crocheted slippers, personal items, and love notes for the mothers at Redeemer Crisis Center. We’re grateful for all of the members and friends who donated the many items needed to share the love of Jesus with our neighbors this winter!
Sunday School Fall 2025 Update: Thanksgiving Meal Bag Packing
Our Sunday School classes worked hard to pack 40 meals bags for families in our community that were distributed through the Volunteers of America. The bags were brought to the sanctuary at the end of worship and received a special blessing for those who would receive them. Each bag included non-perishable food items donated by the church and preschool as well as a frozen turkey and pumpkin pie.
Sunday School Kick Off
To celebrate the beginning of Sunday School every week, students placed flowers in bud vases on the altar to enhance our worship space. Student in the younger class have learned Jesus takes care of us like a shepherd takes care of his sheep. The older students leaned into what it means to have a lukewarm faith and how to live a life that shows our faith.
Summer 2025 Sunday School Update
Students in the Sunday School classes have been learning about the building and growth of the church after Jesus died. Students in the older class used the colors of M&Ms to represent how people are all different shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and circumstances but Jesus came to save everyone.
Spring 2025 Sunday School Update
Our Sunday school and confirmation classes worked hard to make fresh Lenten pretzels for the congregation! The classes were reminded that the twisted shape of the pretzels resemble two arms crossed in prayer. Making these pretzels each year for over 30 years has served as a tasty reminder that Lent is a season of prayer.
