Dear Parents of Children at First Lutheran Church –

Welcome to a new Sunday School year! We are so excited to welcome you and

your children to a fun, grace-filled year of growing in faith. The fall season begins

with the Blessing of the Backpacks on September 7, followed by Rally Sunday Kick-

off on September 14.

Rally Sunday Event:

Date:

Sunday, September 14

Time:

Program begins at 9:45 a.m.

Location:

Parish Hall

Who:

All ages – grownups too!

The Rally Sunday event will feature interactive games, music and activities to

introduce everyone to the new education year. During the final part of the hour,

children will go to their classroom areas for a time to meet teachers and have a

welcome activity.

Regular classroom locations are as follows:

2 & 3 year olds meet in the Promise Preschool room on the London

Road level. Parents stay with their child(ren) for all classes.

4 & 5 year olds meet in the Space to Grow room on the London Road level.

Grades 1 & 2 meet in room 301 on the 3

floor

Grades 3 -5 meet in the basement classrooms

Grades 6-8 meet in the basement Youth Room. If you have a 6

grader, a separate

mailing is sent from Deb Westerberg, Director of Youth & Family Ministry.

Enclosed is a Sunday School registration form, which can be used for all children in

your family. Forms can be mailed to the church office, dropped off at the Welcome

Desk, or brought to Sunday School. For planning purposes it is helpful to have the

forms completed and sent ahead of time.

For Grades 1-5 we continue with the Faith Quest Rotation Sunday School, in which

children take an in-depth look at a Bible story for 3-4 weeks. Each week they

explore the story in a different “workshop” during small group time. The workshops

will be activities that might include art, science, games, drama, video, or cooking.

The lesson rotation schedule will be handed out at your child’s Sunday School room.

Parent involvement as workshop leaders or assisting as a shepherd is encouraged and

welcomed!

We are continuing the sign-in/out system for the safety of our children. Our

church building is a wonderful place to gather for worship and education, but it is

also challenging as we have activities happening on many levels. To ensure children

are safe when coming to and leaving our classrooms, we ask that parents or another

adult sign each child in and out of the classroom each week. Your child’s teacher
