Patience, Laughter, and Hope

Preschool and Kindergarten children practice patience and laughter in their classroom, learning about Abraham and Sarah's story of hope. Though very old, they were blessed with a son and named him Isaac. Did you know that laughter is associated with Isaac's name?
Preschool/Kindergarten
All Sunday School classes from Preschool thru 6th grade are learning Faith Traits and Bible Stories in the same sequence, making it easier for families with multiple children to continue the conversation at home. The Witness curriculum, published by Augsburg Fortress, pairs well with the Jesus Storybook Bible for young learners, providing vivid pictures and meaningful messages.
1st and 2nd Graders
In addition to regular curriculum, Preschool and Kindergarteners are learning to pray aloud. First and Second graders have begun to memorize the Lord's Prayer. Third and Fourth graders are learning and memorizing the Ten Commandments. Fifth and Sixth graders are focusing on the Apostle's Creed.
God's Promises Give Us Hope.
