MINISTRIES & ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN

Zion's congregation includes many children of varying ages; we also take joy in connecting with other community congregations and organizations to provide activities and ministries for children. Below are details on some of our specific ministries.

Sunday School & Children's Choirs

This year, Sunday School is being held virtually!  (At least for the foreseeable future).  2020 has proven to be unpredictable, and so we are learning to roll with it!  

​We have 5 classes:

• Preschool (beginning at age 2 by September 1 2020)
• Kindergarten-First Grade
• Second-Third Grades
• Fourth-Seventh Grades
• Eighth-Twelfth Grades

Most classes are using an app called Flipgrid, combined with an occasional Zoom meeting.  Flipgrid allows both the Sunday School teachers and the Music teacher (Ms. Susan Swidnicki) to record short videos for your children to watch at a time that is convenient for your family.  Then, your child(ren) is (are) able to record a short response to the teacher and class.  Finally, the teacher will record a short video response for your child.

If you are interested in enrolling in Sunday School at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church,  please register here.

If you are registered and have questions about Flipgrid contact your teacher.
