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.

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 five Tuesdays in preparation for receiving holy communion for the first time on the first Sunday in November. They come to a deeper understanding of Holy Communion through a video "Welcome to God's Table," a booklet "Come to God's Table," conversation with the pastor and with parents, and breadmaking.
8th-9th grades
When young people enter 8th grade they begin a two year course of instruction with the pastor in preparation for a making a statement of faith and being confirmed in May of the 9th grade year. During this time they attend Sunday School classes but generally do not participate in the opening exercises. Confirmation classes are held after school on Wednesdays.
