Learning to be God's light in the world!
Children's Ministry
Sunday School classes begins on Sunday, September 14, at 10 a.m. meeting in rooms 101-102 with classes running until late May or early June. Click here or the registration button at the top of the page to register your child for Sunday School. Though your child is welcome to attend if you do not register, registering provides important information about your child and provides the needed contact information so you can be kept informed about what is going on with the Children's Ministry at Saint Luke along with allergy, medical, and any other important info about your child. While the Sunday School children meet, middle schoolers and high school youth also have classes and there is an adult education class called Up for Discussion. There are also periodic adult classes led by Pastor Miller or others.
In addition to weekly Sunday School for PreK-5th graders, monthly events are also offered for toddlers through 5th graders and their families. These events include social and service events such things as pumpkin painting and/or carving, setting out food for the Food Pantry's annual Thanksgiving basket event for those in need in the community, decorating Christmas cookies, creating Valentine's for those in need of an extra dose of God's love from the community, an Easter egg hunt, and more. In addition, PreK-5th graders are also invited to attend Vacation Bible School, which is a camp held one week at the end of June/early July from 9 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Middle and high school youth are invited to be teen volunteers helping to lead the younger kids in science, service projects, recreation/games, story time, music, crafts, and more.
On September 27 at 9 a.m., the congregation is invited to participate in Sweep the Creek meeting at the Sligo Creek and Dallas Ave parking lot. On October 25 at 10 a.m., bring your pumpkins to the blue and white tent in the upper parking lot for the annual Pumpkin Painting and Carving. Supplies for painting and carving will be provided. You are encouraged to wear old clothes and bring a card box to transport it home if possible. This is important because the paint is permanent due to pumpkins most likely being outside and potentially in the rain. There will be paint smocks available for use.
Lesson
The September 14 lesson is "Lost Sheep and Lost Coin," based on Luke 15:1-10. Jesus tells a parable of losing 1 out of 100 along with a woman losing a coin (one that was worth a day's wage) searching the home until she found it. The stories demonstrate God's nature is to search for the lost and rejoices when the lost are found. For the kids, this is a good illustration that God is with us always, even when are lost (literally or figuratively).
