Children's Faith Formation
The formation of our children is an important focus of Messiah Lutheran.
Teachers will pick their favorite parable and teach it in many different ways which could include skits, songs, crafts and much more.
June teaching schedule:

Nursery care is available in the summer during worship times and Sunday school.
Children's Sunday School - 9:45 am
Children's Sunday school classes, ages preschool through 5th grade, will be studying from the Akaloo curriculum, which is an interactive Bible based curriculum. Along with the new curriculum, the children will continue to memorize select scriptures and the Creed. This will help them participate in worship.
Each Sunday the children gather at 9:45 am in the Chapel Narthex for music and prayer. From there they are dismissed to their respective classrooms. Preschool through 1st grade meet in room 127 with Mrs. Sue Tobey as teacher.
Second grade through 5th meet in room 125 with Mrs. Heidi Murray.
Children's Discipleship Team to meet Sept. 11
The Children’s Discipleship Team will meet Sept. 11 at 6:00 pm and all are welcome. If you have ideas on how the young children of our faith family can be involved and nurtured, please come and share your ideas. We would love to have you.
If you are interested in teaching the second through fifth grade class from January to May or would like to teach during the summer months, please contact Heidi Murray.
