BackgroundBethel Lutheran Church Sunday School
It is the desire of our Sunday School department to serve as a partner to our families in the Christian education of our children and youth.
We present the plan of salvation as put forth in the Bible. It is our goal to do this
in a manner that makes the message of God's Word not just an academic exercise but
something that is applicable to the lives of believers no matter what their age. We teach
the Bible as God's Word. We center on the words of St. John in John 20:31 -
But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,
and that by believing you may have life in his name.
The purpose of our study is to expose the children and youth to the Means of Grace that
is God's Word, and in doing so have the Holy Spirit affect their hearts and minds.

ADULT CLASS -The Gospel According to St. Luke
| Leader: | Pastor Bard |  Parish Hall - View Facility Map |
| Study Topics: | Pastor Bard’s Sunday Morning Bible class is currently studying the Gospel of Luke. Luke, a Gentile himself, writes about the Gentiles, women, and outsiders, three groups who are mostly ignored by Matthew and Mark. Luke researches the story of Jesus closely, so that those who read may be encouraged and believe. Please bring your own Bible, a pen, and your thinking cap as Luke hides many nuggets for the studious and the careful! |
ADULT CLASS - Esther: It's Tough Being a Woman
| Leader: | Lillian Hayden |  Room 401 - View Facility Map |

A donation of $10 for the class book would be appreciated. |
