SUNDAY SCHOOL PROGRAM
The Sunday School at St. Paul Lutheran

Church dates back
to 1871 (St. Paul was established October 22, 1870). Members of St. Paul have always recognized the importance of a solid

educational program. As a result, St. Paul takes great pride in the quality of its programs which are rich in tradition and alive in proclaiming and sharing God's Word.

Sunday School classes are offered for the whole family on Sunday mornings from 9:45a.m.- 10:45a.m. Classroom activities for children 2 1/2 years through 12th grade include instruction centered around a Bible story and supported by crafts, music and or games. Study opportunities for adults and young adults include Bible study, forums and discussions on special topics.

ROTATIONAL STUDIES Pre-K to 6th Grade
A new approach to learning was introduced to the Sunday School in the fall of 2001. This concept evolves around the study of the same Bible story for 4-5 consecutive weeks. The children rotate to a different classroom each week to investigate the bible story through the following methods: music, puppets, video, drama, arts & crafts, or games. This method allows each student new and creative ways to learn about the bible while reinforcing the general principal of the story being told over the 4-5 weeks.

LIBRARY
The Library at St. Paul is a valuable resource with diverse offerings for all ages. Whether you are looking for inspirational material or a video, St. Paul's Library has a great variety to choose from.
