Education

 

Sunday School
Sunday School classes run from the first Sunday after Labor Day until the last Sunday before Memorial Day. Rally Day in September is the kickoff for the Sunday School year, and includes a potluck dinner at the church for all members and participating friends. A free will offering goes to cover the costs of Sunday School materials and expenses. The Sunday School is broken into many groups, including preschool through sixth grade, the 7th through 12th grade Youth Group, and the adult Sunday School.

Junior Church
A special church service is provided each Sunday for children ages three through kindergarten. After the children's sermon is completed, children in this age group are invited to either remain in the regular church service or attend a junior church service located in the preschool room near the fellowship hall. In junior church the children will participate in a video, a Bible lesson, a craft, or any combination of these. This provides a religious educational experience structured toward their learning level, while parents can participate in the regular church service.

On Safari Kid's Club

This program is for children, age 3 through grade 6, and is held Wednesday evenings, 6:45 PM to 8:00 PM, October through April. During this time the children sing, hear Bible stories, and have a craft to go along with the Bible story of that evening. The children are divided into classes according to their age so all activities are age-appropriate.

Confirmation
Calvary Free holds a two-year confirmation program. Each year runs from September to May.  Students study Scripture and Luther's Small Catechism. The program typically begins for students entering seventh grade. Confirmation is not just "reading for the pastor" at Calvary. It is an interactive exploration of a relationship with God. It is a powerful experience of digging deep into the Bible. It is training for the public expression of believing in Jesus "everyday and everywhere."

Circles (Bible Study Groups)
Presently Calvary WMF has two groups:

    *Kyria meets the second Tuesday of each month at 9:30 AM

    *Lydia meets the second Tuesday of each month at 2:00 PM

The groups enjoy a time of Bible Study and fellowship. The Bible Study is made available from the National AFLC WMF each year.

Library
Calvary Free Lutheran Church's library contains books not only for adults, but also for children and youth.  Books may be checked out from the library by filling out a checkout card.  Included in the Calvary library is the "Left Behind" series, "VeggieTales" movies, and many other books and videos.

Bible Studies
Various options are available for Adult Bible study. Small Group studies in homes or other locations meet often throughout the year. Often there is a group meeting on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM at the church. Contact the church office or check the Church Calendar for more information.
