“Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead, and write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” (Deuteronomy 6:6-9, NRSV) |
During the school year, our three year olds through high school seniors have the opportunity to be nurtured in faith by committed teachers in our Sunday Morning Live (SML) classes. Sunday Morning Live begins at 9:00 AM on Sundays. If you have children who would be new to these classes, please let us know in the office (507-423-5100) so we can be ready to welcome them!
Another opportunity for faith formation takes place on Wednesday evenings during the school year in our F.I.R.E.! (Faith Is Reaching Everyone) programming. This intergenerational time begins with a meal served at 5:45 PM, and is followed by a time of worship at 6:30 PM, and breakout learning time (by ages) at 7:00 PM. Adults gather to reflect on and discuss matters of faith in daily life at this same time.

Our kids in grades six through nine alongside whom we walk in their “Faith Affirmation Journey” (confirmation) participate in all the aspects of F.I.R.E.! on Wednesday nights, and meet in their guide groups from 7:00-7:45 PM. Students affirm their faith in the midst of congregational worship during their tenth grade school year.
