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).
Children's Christmas Program
Children of all ages join with RALY (Richfield Area Lutheran Youth) for a joyous Christmas celebration of the birth of the Christ child. Rehearsals begin in November. The program is shared at House of Prayer or Woodlake Lutheran Church in December. Watch E-News Announcements in the fall for more details.
Vacation Bible School (VBS) & Summer Stretch
Every year, House of Prayer and Woodlake combine to offer an evening Vacation Bible School for kids from K-5th grade, and an afternoon program for 6th grade and up (Summer Stretch), giving kids an opportunity to learn about themselves, their relationship with Jesus, and develop new relationships with other kids and church leaders. A meal is offered to both groups at 5pm, which is just after Summer Stretch, and just before VBS. Staff from Luther Park Camp come to help out with the programs, and the kids really have a good time (as you can see from the pictures). We welcome every child to these programs, whether they attend church at HOP, Woodlake, somewhere else, or not at all! If you have a child that falls into these age groups, we encourage you to enroll for 2024!
Summer Camp
House of Prayer is a founding member of Luther Park Camp in Danbury, WI. Luther Park offers week-long summer camps, half-week options for young children, family camps, grandparent & kid camps, and much more! Check out their website at www.lutherpark.com to learn more.
This summer we encourage our youth to join in HOP camp week. Registration is now open for 2023! There are several camp options available during the week we have chosen, which is June 25-June 30. This includes a full week horse camp for those in 4th grade and up, as well as a family camp for those with younger children who want to experience camp for a weekend. We recommend the half-week option for youth in Grades 1-3, and the full-week option for youth in Grades 4-7. More information and registration can be found at: Luther Park Summer Camp. Cost: $260-$610, depending on length of program. Contact Pastor Eric at eluedtke@hoplc.org or 612-866-8471 (ext. 2) for more information.
