It has been a wonderfully busy fall this year. In addition to classes, we have explored the themes of grace, Martin Luther, Reformation and the church. There were gifts to remind of God’s gift of love for us, a Martin Luther booklet of stories and games, and our conversation with Murray (the moose) and Bishop Eaton. All the kids marched up to the church led by Bishop Eaton with our red balloons on Reformation Sunday. The balloons tied to the fence were a wonderful sight!
We voted on a verse for our celebration tree planted behind the Christian Education Building last spring. Psalms 1:3 was the winner. The same verse will be on the tree planted in Luther’s Garden in Wittenberg Germany in 2015. Both trees were purchased with our Sunday School offerings from last year. At family worship in September, the Kindergarteners received their beginners Bible. October found us opening the time capsule from the 275th Anniversary.
November will find us planning a time capsule for Zion’s 325th anniversary, helping with Senior baskets and of course going to class.
If you have been busy this fall and unable to attend Sunday School, we have missed you. Join in the learning, fun and friendships.
275th Anniversary Time Capsule
In the fall of 1989 the Sunday School buried a time capsule which we dug up and opened at family worship this October. It had news articles from 1989, our 275th celebration service bulletin, and a Sunday School teacher guide—and we were using the same curriculum until two years ago! Pictures of favorite toys, a Pete Rose baseball card and lots of dinosaur-themed items found their way into the capsule. The Sunday School made a Zion Yearbook with class pictures AND what everyone thought they would be doing in 2014 for the capsule.
A display is in the narthex. Check it out!
