We are excited to announce that we will be implementing a new curriculum this fall from Augsburg Press called Sparks. This resource has been developed to make lessons very interactive and addresses all types of learners. Children will explore their weekly lessons through three main centers: story, music and craft. Children will also bring home a family page that allows them to have an opportunity to share their experiences in faith formation with their loved ones. In addition, all children will receive their own copy of the Spark Story Bible that will be utilized during their time in the centers and of course will be a great resource for 
families to use at home.
Formal faith formation for children ages preschool to fifth grade takes place between the services from 9:45 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. Generally classes are held between Labor Day and Memorial Day, but see the calendar link for more details on dates and lessons. If you would like any more information or wish to volunteer, please contact our Director of Family Ministries at dirfamilyministries@saintstephenlutheran.net.
