A Note from Pastor Shelly

June - Walk of Faith

We just ended another wonderful Sunday School year. The year ended with the children making stepping stones that were put together to make a small pathway through the courtyard in the
Sunday School wing that we are calling “Our Sunday School
Walk of Faith.” Take a look!

Sunday School truly is a big part of our walk of faith and if you ever had a chance to walk through the Sunday School wing from 9:45-10:45 Sunday morning, you’ve seen that walk of faith in action. You might have seen the littlest children coloring life size cut-outs of themselves complete with big red hearts and learning that “Jesus is in my heart.” Or you might have seen the first grade class on a nature walk pointing out the good things in God’s creation. You may have seen the second and third graders reading aloud from their Adventure Bibles. You might have found the older elementary kids practicing in the sanctuary so they can be added to the roster of acolytes; confirmation students talking about sacraments, reformation, the Apostles Creed, prayer; and adults learning more
about the Bible or how to grow as loving faithful parents. There are so many good things that happen during the Sunday School hour, walking from room to room, really does feel like moving along and seeing many different stages of the walk of faith.

And of course, that walk never ends, we are always learning, always growing in life and in faith. So even if you’ve long outgrown Sunday School (although there is adult Sunday School, so you never outgrow that!), keep learning. Keep opening your Bible. Keep coming to worship and opening your heart up to hear God’s word in Scripture and song and sermon, keep coming to Bible Study (or start coming!). Keep letting God grow you and teach you. Keep letting God shape you and grow you wherever you are on your walk of faith.

Honored to be learning with you on this walk of faith!
