SUNDAY MORNING

Currently - to keep our church community safe and well during the COVID crisis - we are doing virtual Sunday School for preschool and for elementary (K-6th). Check out our weekly lessons here. We are also revisiting our regular children's ministry and music ministry programs for fall - stay tuned.

SUNDAY SCHOOL

At St. Luke's, children age 2–6th grade are welcome to Sunday School to learn Bible stories and experience what it means to know God through multi-sensory experiences. We offer a sacred place for children to share their story and learn about others and experience spiritual moments to connect with God. And we have fun! Come join us.
REGISTER Online Here
We have 4 different Sunday School options and you can join in at any point during the year:

9:00am Sunday School: Preschool "Joy Trek" (ages 2-5)
Joy Trek is our 9:00am Sunday School program for children age 2-5. Children will learn a Bible story over 2-5 weeks of lessons. Each Sunday they will hear the story, do a craft, participate in music and sacred sharing moments and have something to bring home. Contact Ms. Sam for more information.

9:00am Sunday School: Elementary "PEAK Adventures" (kindergarten-4th grade)
PEAK (Purposeful Experiences & Activities for Kids) Adventures is our 9:00am Sunday School program for children K-grade 4. Each week children will learn a Bible story in a different way through our workshop rotation model. Over 3-5 weeks, the children will learn the story through workshops such as Art, Cinema, Cooking, Games, Sciene and Storytelling. Children also will be able to participate in music and large group time as well. Contact Ms. Sharon for more information.

HOLY LISTENING
To further our mission of caring for the spiritual lives of our children, St. Luke's is now offering the opportunity for a child to meet with a Holy Listener during 9:00am Sunday School or at a time arranged by the parents and our CM staff. A Holy Listener (HL) is a St. Luke's adult who has been trained in the spiritual gift of listening to a child in a special way using tools (like Holy Listening stones) that allow them to feel God's presence and comfort. It is not professional counseling but an opportunity to share God's loving presence with a child who might be experiencing a crisis of any sort (divorce of parents, loss of a loved one, moving to a new school/home, illness, bullying, transition, death of a pet, family financial or health difficulties, etc.) in their life. The short meeting could be a one time event or ongoing. (Our Safe Sanctuary policy would apply to make sure all parties are meeting in a secure, safe and welcoming environment.) Parents can request that a HL meet with their child through our Staff or the Superintendent and will be informed if a meeting occurs. Any information shared will be held in confidence within our Holy Listening Team. Click here to go to our Center for Spiritual Engagement website and meet our Holy Listening leaders.
