Sunday School

Here is a complete Sunday School calendar for spring 2010.

We have just completed our first semester of the new Augsburg Fortress "Spark" curriculum. We are still beta testing the curriculum and hope to be fully accessible online this spring 2010.

Registration for 2010/2011 Sunday School will begin on April 26th. We hope to have an online form running then which would be a great time saver for parents and an efficient way for us to quickly register many children.

Below is the reading schedule for the remainder of this Sunday School season. Please feel free to use this information as a jump start to your Sunday morning. Pick a time during the week to familiarize yourself and your family with the Sunday School lesson for the next Sunday. The Sunday School lesson will also coincide with a reading or the gospel every Sunday.

 We are excited to be taking you on a journey to the African savannah, under the baobab tree. Our theme at Baobab Blast is that of community. Even though we are all different, we are part of a very important community: the community of believers.
