Sunday School
In-Person Classes
Children Pre-K (age 3) - Grade 3 are invited to a morning of fun! Join us Sunday mornings at 10:30 A.M. for music, crafts, and outdoor fun (weather permitting). Meet in Classroom 1-2. No pre-registration is required. Emergency contact information will be collected on Sundays when children arrive. Parents are welcome to stay to join the fun or enjoy coffee and donut fellowship in the Narthex. Class will be finished by 10:55 A.M. for those wishing to attend ReFuel Worship.
Sprout-A-Spark: A Space to Grow Your Faith
Our special space for youngest members continues to be a joyful experience Sundays during ReFuel. Children of all ages can gather at the just-right sized art table and engage in worship while letting their creativity flow. The generosity of HOP members provides craft supplies and toys for this special ministry and makes it possible for Spout-A-Spark to continue all year long.
Faith Together at Home
We recognize that families have a huge impact on children’s faith, so we want to provide resources, ideas, and encouragement as you practice your faith together. Click the links below to download the PDFs of family-friendly activities to do together. Each theme includes a Bible verse, discussion questions, family activity, and closing prayer. We hope you will share pictures of your crafts and activities with us!
Questions about Sunday School and the Faith Together at Home resources can be directed to Kristi Liu (kline010@umn.edu) or Andry Jurcich (andryj@invisik.com).
