The Little Lutheran is a magazine for children aged 6 and under and is designed to help parents and congregations nurture our youngest members in the faith. It helps children develop a relationship with God, who loves them dearly, and with Jesus as their savior and friend. This colorful and sturdy magazine will arrive in the child's name ten times a year packed with art, stories, songs, prayers, activities, and more. The Little Lutheran makes a good gift from grandparents, godparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and others to the children in their lives. Visit www.thelittlelutheran.org for information on how you can order.

3rd grade
At the beginning of third grade the students in Sunday School are given a Bible by the First Lutheran Women (WELCA) for use at home and at Sunday School. Since they are just beginning to read, they are given a copy of the Good News Bible, sometimes called "Today's English Version," which is written in language appropriate for a beginning reader.
5th grade
In fifth grade Sunday School students attend a special class with the pastor once a week for five weeks in preparation for receiving holy communion for the first time on Reformation Sunday, which is the last Sunday in October. The class is usually held on Tuesdays after school.
