The following articles are from Bishop Michael Burk--

This year’s theme for Sunday School:

John 1: 1-5

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ²He was in the beginning with God. ³All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being ⁴in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. ⁵The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.

“SPARK!”  A NEW CURRICULUM!   The Christian Education Committee has decided to move away from Rotation Model Sunday school to a more traditional classroom setting.  We are going to utilize a new curriculum, published by Augsburg Fortress: “SPARK!”  This promises to be an exciting change and we are looking forward to preparing and teaching all of the students who are 3 years old through 3rd graders with this new curriculum.
