Sunday School

April 6, 2008

Today in Sunday School the children learned of how the disciples recognized the resurrected Jesus through the Scriptures and the breaking of bread when he appeared to them on the Emmaus Road (Luke 24:3–15). Talk with your children about how Christ comes to us and abides with us through Word and Sacrament, continuing to open our eyes and strengthening our faith.

 

April 13, 2008

The children in Sunday School learned how Jesus identified Himself as the “Good Shepherd” and the “Door of the Sheep”. They learned how we entered that door and were made His sheep through Baptism. Talk with your child about how Jesus continues to feed and care for us with His Word and Sacraments. Talk about how other voices, sinful voices, in this world try to draw us away from our shepherd, Jesus.

In Sunday School today the children learned how each of us is like the lame beggar as we stand before God (Acts 3). Yet through the means of grace, God’s Word and Sacraments, God bestows on us what Christ accomplished on the cross: forgiveness of sins. In your family discussions, talk about what it means to have the “forgiveness of sins.”

 

April 27, 2008

In the learning the story of Stephen (Acts 6–7), the first martyr, the children in Sunday School learned how we are crushed and enraged at the accusations of the God’s Law, but the Gospel comes to bring peace and quietness with the forgiveness of our sins. Talk with your children and point out that in church we hear from the pastor the same Word of God that Stephen preached: “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.”

 

 

Youth Bible Class

Sunday Mornings @ Office Building - 10:30 a.m.

2nd Sunday of the Month @ McDonalds - 10:30 a.m. (meet in Fellowship Hall)

In the main Bible Study we will be looking at worship.  Why is our service organized the way it is?  Where do the text for the parts of the service come from?  How is our service different from other MS Lutheran services?  How do the hymns get selected?  All of these questions and more will be explored.  As we dig deeper into the meaning of formal Christian Worship we will be visiting other MS Lutheran churches in the area to experience different services and styles of worship.
