Sunday School

Join us Each Sunday morning from 9:30-10:25 for Toddlers, K-12, and adults

A child can register for Sunday School any Sunday of the year. If you know of a child or student who is not attending Sunday School elsewhere, invite them to ours. Bring them to the church office on Sunday morning and a cheerful helper will register them.

 Our Sunday School Program Curriculum

Here at Immanuel we have classes available for children who are 18 months old through Adult. Our Toddlers (18 mos &endash; 3 yrs) have a great time learning through the use of toys/activities/crafts planned by the teachers.

Our 3 year olds through Kindergarten, are in one classroom (3 & 4 yr olds and Pre-Kindergarten in one room and Kindergarten in another room) each Sunday with the same teacher/s. They teach the same curriculum as Grades 1 &endash; 6, but is more appropriate for their age.

We use a rotation model to teach our Sunday School lessons to Grades 1 through 6. They study and experience the same Bible story/concept through kid-friendly centers. The centers could be any one of the following: Arts & Crafts, Drama, Music, Science, Games, Multimedia, and any other center necessary to teach the subject matter. The same Bible story/concept is taught in all of the centers for four or five weeks rotating the kids to a different center each week. The center leaders do not rotate, but say in one place, for the four to five week rotation. Consistency and relationship-building are provided by the children's Guide (adult volunteer who rotate with the classes) who remain with one class for the entire school year.

As for our Junior High age group (7th & 8th Grades), they are taught by the same teacher each week on Sundays and have their own curriculum.

Our High School class (9th&endash;12th Grade) covers multiple life topics. This class is more of a discussion group helping the children deal with peer pressure and issues they may be facing at this point in time in their life.

The Adult class covers multiple subjects. There are a variety of people who volunteer to teach this class and they may have a video series they are working through or they may be simply studying certain books of the Bible.

"Pop Tabs for Kids" Ronald McDonald House

The Ronald McDonald House provides a home to families whose children, age 18 and under, are receiving medical care in the Omaha metropolitan area.

The Sunday School children collect pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House. These pop tabs are recycled and the proceeds are used to offset the operating costs of the House.

JOIN IN THE FUN and bring your collection of POP TABS for the Sunday School mission project. You may drop off your pop tabs to the Sunday School office to be distributed among the classes, or bring them to Sunday School Closing Worship on any Sunday at 10:15a.m.

Jean's Storytime

For over fifty years, the Jean's Storytime Television Ministry for children has reached out to children in all types of homes; urban and rural, rich and poor, believer and non-believer. Just as branches of the tree reach out in all directions, Jean's Storytime tells children to reach out and learn all they can about God and His love for them. WATCH for Jean's Storytime on KMTV 3.

Our Sunday School children support this mission with their birthday coins and other special offerings. Birthday coins may include quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies, etc.

Faith Stepping Stones

The second graders and their parents are introduced to the Bible in this three week class. It is taught by Pastor Al and when it has been completed, the children are presented with a Bible as a gift from the church.

INTRODUCTION TO THE SMALL CATECHISM THIRD GRADE

These classes are for children in third grade and their parents and taught by Pastor Al.

This is to help children better understand what is in the five parts of the Small Catechism, and help parents in using the catechism for family faith formation.

PREPARATION FOR FIRST COMMUNION FOURTH GRADE

Pastor Al will teach a 3-session preparation class for children in fourth grade and their parents.

This is to help children better understand the Sacrament before their First Communion on Maundy, Thursday

HAVE YOU SPENT TIME WITH KATIE OR MARTIN, PRAYER BEARS? You can sign up for the Prayer Bears each Sunday to take home for the week. Look for the red slips located in the basket beneath the church guest book as you enter the church. Sign your name and give your phone number. Names are drawn at each Church service (8:15am and 10:40am) and announced during the childrens message. Each Prayer Bear has two prayers for you to learn and use. Remember to bring your Prayer Bear back the following Sunday for the next child to enjoy.
