Sunday School
We meet on Sunday mornings from 9:45 - 10:45 AM, September – May
Preschool
Kindergarten - 5th grade
6th Graders
This group begins their Sunday School experience by gathering for large group story-time and songs. Sometimes they watch the skits, sometimes they are part of the story.
After they finish singing, they move to small groups where we reinforce the story and the message through activities.

K - 5th graders meet for a very interactive large-group opening where they hear and see God's stories come to life through storytelling and skits, then break into small groups for a variety of activities.
Here's where relationships blossom!

6th graders do a deep dive into God's word in preparation for confirmation. They explore stories verse by verse and wrestle with their meaning.
Sunday Worship
Our Nursery
Acolytes & Crucifiers
Our nursery, located off the Lobby (Narthex), is available for children 6 weeks-age 5. The nursery is available at all worship services, and is staffed by paid caregivers who are CPR, choking and first-aid certified.
Parents may take children to the nursery before worship or any time during the service. The Crib Room also provides a quiet place for napping, feeding, nursing, and changing diapers.

Worship is important for all God’s children, and all should be involved in some way. At Atonement, we want to be intentional about offering a place specifically for 4th-6th graders to lead our worship as acolytes, typically from September through May.
Acolytes are involved throughout the service – lighting altar candles, receiving the offering, and assisting with communion. 6th graders may also serve as crucifers.
Come for pizza, training and games Friday, September 12, 6:30p - 9p. If individual training is needed, contact Boo.

Children & Family Milestones
Baptism
1st Communion
3rd Grade Bibles
Baptism is an amazing, wonderful gift from God. Through baptism we are given the gift of the Holy Spirt, forgiveness of sins and new life in Jesus Christ.
It’s an honor for us to be a part of and witness this re-birth and welcome them into God’s family and ours.
Contact Pr. Zac to begin planning for this special milestone.

Each spring, we have a faith milestone class where 2nd-grade children and their significant adults (parents, godparents, grandparents, etc.) come together to learn about the sacrament of Holy Communion. Classes are offered during Lent with First Communion at Maundy Thursday worship.
It is open to students in second grade and above (and parents) who are not yet receiving Communion.

When children are baptized, parents and godparent(s) promise to “place in their child’s hands the Holy Scriptures.” We’d like to help them fulfill that promise by offering a great class for 3rd graders, and their parents and godparents, where together they will explore God’s Word.
The Bible is full of great lessons, love letters, and some really funny things. But most importantly, in it is everything God wants our children to know about Him – how much He loves us, how He wants us to live, and how to follow Jesus. The Bible is God’s love letter to all of us!
Parent / child class will be Sunday, October 12, 9:45a. Bibles are presented during worship on Reformation Sunday, October 26.
