WINTER SUNDAY SCHOOL -TEN COMMANDMENTS

For ten weeks, children will dig deeper into their faith by looking into each commandment. Each week, children will learn a commandment in a fun and engaging way.  They will learn the history and the importance of why God gave us these special rules. They will also discover how these special rules keep us happy and strengthens our relationship with God and others.


Be sure to register for Sunday School. Forms are available at the Information Desk, or you may download a form here and bring it with you. Check in is required each week at our "Check-in Kiosk," also located at the Information Desk.


Children's ministry

(Our philosophy)

We at Community Lutheran know the value of children.  We believe that every child should feel God’s awesome love and grace.
We understand the importance of creating lifelong followers and want to help your child create spiritual habits that last a lifetime.
Our goal is to offer a variety of opportunities and experiences for your family to grow in Christ together.

It is our intention to create a loving and secure environment where children and families can grow and nurture their own faiths,
to provide resources, tools and connections, that will not only help in faith formation, but family bonding as well.

Your child will be treated as a unique and valued individual that God loves, and whom their church family loves.
We are committed to gently guiding them on their faith journey by offering each child love, acceptance and security.

Thank you for allowing CLC to be a part of your child’s faith journey.

We commit to:

  • Creating a safe and welcoming environment
  • Help children grow in faith
  • Help children apply faith to life
  • Positively model the Christian faith
  • Provide opportunities to strengthen relationships with God and each other

Milestone Ministries:

Baptism

Our baptism sets us out on a lifelong journey that is characterized by our relationship to God,
our relationship to our faith community, our relationships in our community and the wider world.
Living our baptismal covenant means living a life of growth in the faith practices of discipleship.

Anyone desiring to be baptized may contact the church office at (702)458-2241.

First Communion

All of God’s children are welcome at His table-everyone is invited to receive Holy Communion.

First Communion classes are offered yearly to be baptized children in 3rd grade and
above who have not had previous communion instruction.  These classes are designed to give children a deeper understanding of the sacrament, it’s meaning and it’s history.

Classes are offered over a two-week period and are for both the child and their parents.
The next classes start on April 21, 2024, following the 11 a.m. Worship Service. First Communion will be held on May 5, 2024.

Nursery

Our loving staff and volunteers care for our littlest Lutherans every Sunday.
Our nursery is a safe place where infants and toddlers are shown God’s love and grace.  
Our nursery is now open at the Sunday morning 9:30 and 11 a.m. Worship services, AND we do offer a cry room and private nursing room for your convenience.


Sunday School

“The commandments I give you today must be in your hearts.  Make sure your children learn them.
 Talk about them when you are at home, when you walk along the road.  Speak about them when you go to bed and when you get up.”    Deuteronomy 6:6-7

In Sunday school children experience God’s awesome love and grace in a safe and engaging environment.

Learning about God can be really cool AND fun!  Children are taught about the Bible on their level,
 through hands-on, multi-sensory experiences and active learning each week. We have a great time making friends and building strong spiritual foundations.

It is our hope to partner with parents in their child’s ongoing spiritual education.  

Sunday School is offered during both 9:30 and 11 a.m. Worship Services on the lower level.  Children aged 3 ½ (fully potty trained)- 5th grade are invited to attend.  Check in is required.
