Sunday School (PK - 6th Grade)
During Sunday School, children explore Bible stories and learn about God’s love for them and what they are called to do as Jesus’ disciples. Sunday mornings include songs, videos, crafts and service projects.
In fourth grade, students and their parents are invited to attend the Communion Retreat, led by Grace’s pastors on a Friday evening during Lent. They learn about the sacrament of Holy Communion. Children who already receive communion are encouraged to attend the retreat along with children who are preparing to receive communion for the first time. At the retreat students create a clay chalice to commemorate this important milestone in their faith life. Students also decorate a white garment with symbols of their life and faith. Children younger than 4th grade are welcome to receive Holy Communion at Grace Church. Please talk with one of the pastors if you or your young child have questions about taking communion.
Confirmation (7th - 8th Grade)
During confirmation, young teens are discerning how and where they belong in the church. We also explore how the gifts God has given them can be put to meaningful use in the world. Through family relationships, friendships, and faith exploration, they discover more about themselves and about their unique roles in God’s creation. Through reflection on the Bible and Martin Luther’s Small Catechism, confirmation students explore and reflect upon their Lutheran Christian identity. They are invited to learn, serve, and grow together in faith and friendship.
In the fall, students who have completed two years of Confirmation classes will affirm their baptismal vows by presenting a Witness Statement and participate in the Rite of Confirmation.
