Grace Lutheran Sunday School Covenants:
The Education Committee, along with some Parents and teachers came up with the following Covenants, which are taught in every Sunday School class:

1. We are all children of God.
2. We will be kind to ourselves, each other and our church.
3. We will help each other.
4. We will listen and follow directions.
5. We will keep hands, feet and other objects to ourselves.

Ages 2 and 3 – Table Prayers and Bedtime Prayers

Grades 1 and 2 – The Lord’s Prayer, Psalm 23, John 3:16
Grades 3 and 4 – The Apostle’s Creed, The Books of the Bible
Grades 5 and 6 – The Ten Commandments, The Beatitudes, The Great Commission
Grades 7 and 8 – Chief Parts of Luther’s Small Catechism and Pastor may suggest other memory work.

Registration:
We like to have ALL parents of students ages 2 (by September 1st) through 8th grade fill out a registration form which can be picked up at the Sunday school or church office. During the month of August we offer parents who had children in the previous year’s Sunday school program an easy way to register by just checking off their children’s names after verifying all of the information to make sure we have our records correct. This is done by coming into church during church office hours or when you attend church on Sunday morning. The registration table will be set up in front of the church office. The easiest way to register is to click here and download the registration form and mail it to:

Music
Music will start on the second week of Sunday school for grades 3-year-old through 4th grade. We like the first week free so students have a little time to get to know their teachers and classmates. We like to have the children arrive before 9:30 because Sunday school is only 1 hour and we like to get started promptly at 9:30.

Offering envelopes
Offering envelopes are handed out to the children during the first and second weeks of Sunday school. These offerings help purchase curriculum materials, supplies, and other special needs of the Sunday school program. Please understand that we want your child to attend regardless of your financial contributions.

Mission Offering:
Every year we like to have the children help with a mission project. For many years we have given to L.A.M.P. (Lutheran Association of Missionaries and Pilots). This is a cross-cultural ministry sharing Jesus Christ with God’s people in remote areas of Canada and Alaska. Pastors/Pilots reach people who have little contact with other Christians by plane and boat. The Sunday school students support this mission program by taking an offering at their Christmas program each year.
