At First Lutheran we strive to make Sunday school a place
where children experience the unconditional love of God and the joy that comes
with it. Through teaching, music and service projects they learn what it means
to be a follower of Christ.
Sunday school
PreK thru 5th grade
We have a dedicated staff of teachers who make a year-long commitment, offering consistency for the students. Our teachers are carefully screened and background checked.
There is no Sunday School on May 29th or June 5th.
Summer Sunday School begins June 12th.
Summer Sunday school is during the 9:30 a.m. service.
Children are taken to the Gathering Place after the Children's Message and brought back in for communion with their families.

Little Lambs (PreK): September 18
Each year we welcome our
newest pre-schoolers to join the Little Lambs class for Sunday school! The
little lambs and their parents are welcomed in church by the
congregation, the pastor, and their teachers, given a blessing and a
little lamb and then head off to their first Sunday School class!
First Communion (5th Grade): April 6th, Maundy Thursday
First Communion
instruction happens in the Spring of 5th grade for our youth. Part of
the 5th grade Sunday school curriculum includes instruction on Passover and the Last
Supper, which provides the background for further instruction with our
faith formation leadership and parents. Some youth might feel moved to
begin receiving communion prior to 5th grade and that should include a
conversation with the pastor and parents.
Please email michaela@flccs.net for more information.
6th and 7th grade
Youth are encouraged to come to the Peel House Youth Center on Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m. for a bible lesson and creative response. We also have a small group for our 6th and 7th graders after our weekly Wednesday Night LIGHT worship at 7pm. This is considered our pre-confirmation class.
First Bibles - (6th grade): August 17th
At the beginning of
each year, we recognize our 6th graders as they transition from
elementary Sunday School into Middle School Youth Group. To help prepare
them for the affirmation of faith we equip them with new study Bibles
which they receive on the first Wednesday of the new school year during our 7 p.m. Wednesday Night LIGHT worship.
Vacation Bible School - VBS
June 13 - 17, 2022
We host our VBS in the evenings from 5-8 p.m. We eat dinner together first, then break-off into age-appropriate groups. Parents are welcome to stay for their own spiritual formation offerings or to volunteer with the kids programming! This year's theme is "Tell Me A Story, Jesus" and we will be learning a new parable each night. Come and enjoy the stories, music, games, and fun! Open to all students currently in Preschool through 5th grade.
Additional Opportunities for Children

children to be involved in the First Lutheran community. Please visit our music
