EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AT ZION

We offer Sunday morning Christian Education for ages 3 years old through adults. Class is from 9:15 - 10:15. The educational year begins with Rally Day, the Sunday after Labor Day and continues to mid-June.

Our children age 3 through Grade 6 begin their Sunday morning experience in the sanctuary with a brief opening before they go to their separate classes.

In Third Grade, our students are presented with Good News Bibles.

In Fifth Grade, after 4 weeks of instruction and a desire and readiness by both students and parents, our young people receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion for the first time. This is celebrated on Reformation Sunday in October.

Our Confirmation program is a three‑year course for our 7th, 8th and 9th graders, taught by our pastor on Sunday mornings. Guidelines for the program are explained to parents and students before the onset of confirmation instruction. Our youth are confirmed in the Ninth Grade on Pentecost Sunday (May or June). Regular class, worship attendance and serving as acolyte or crucifer is expected of our confirmands.

Zion offers an adult class every Sunday morning during the educational hour.

In June we sponsor a 1-week Vacation Bible School Program, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The week ends with a time for worship. Volunteers are always needed for this exciting week in the life of our church!
