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.
2nd and 4th Sundays of the Month
Our Sunday School classes are held on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month. Children ages preschool-5th grade are invited to begin worship with their families and are dismissed to Sunday School following the children’s sermon. Families can meet their children in the fellowship hall at the end of worship.
Sunday School in November
Sunday School will meet on November 10th and November 24th this month. Students will continue learning about spreading the good news of Jesus Christ this month.
Fall 2024 Sunday School Update
School classes recently studied Mark 16:15 – “Jesus said to them: Go into all the world and preach good news to all creation.” The classes discussed ways they can share the good news with others then created chalk drawings about the love of Jesus at the entrance of the church for all to see.
Sunday School classes have started studying the book of Daniel. Students are discussing how they can choose to follow God even when it’s not the popular thing to do. Students appreciated some of God’s gifts during the fall season by making leaf rubbings.
Summer 2024 Sunday School Update
Sunday School classes discussed how Philip was able to help the Ethiopian understand what the Old Testament scrolls meant and how Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of a Savior.
Before taking a break for July, the Sunday School classes discussed the many blessings we enjoy in our country. Children talked about their blessings as well as made a craft in honor of the 4th of July.
Spring 2024 Sunday School Update
The Sunday School classes recently
colored miniature bird houses for spring that they hung by the front door of the church. Just as spring is a season of renewal, the children were reminded that the death and resurrection of Jesus gives us new life.
The Sunday School classes have continued to learn about the events following Easter. The children have learned about Doubting Thomas as well as the ascension. The classes will begin learning about the establishment of the church.
Winter 2024 Sunday School Update
Sunday School classes recently discussed Bible stories about the blind. The younger class learned what it might be like to be blind by feeling objects in a bag and guessing what the objects were. They then learned the Bible story about the blind beggar that Jesus helped to see. The older Sunday school class learned the Bible story of Saul’s conversion from persecuting Christians to becoming a Christian. The class made a “conversion” of their own by turning cream, vanilla, and sugar into whipping cream in a bottle with A LOT of vigorous shaking!
May we always see how the works of God are displayed in us!
Recently, the youngest Sunday School class studied the parable of the Prodigal Son. The children helped make a pile of fruit and vegetable peels to begin the lesson. They learned that while one son stayed with his father to work the farm, the other son used his share of money to experience a new life. Once he spent all of his money and had nothing to even buy food the scraps of food fed to the pigs looked delicious! The children learned that like the prodigal son who returned, God loves us always – even when we have to say we’re sorry.
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.
