Children's Faith Formation
Faith Formation at Mt. Carmel for Children
In keeping with the ELCA’s emphasis on knowing our Book of Faith, The Bible, Mt. Carmel’s Sunday School focuses on The Big Stories of The Bible. We use Augsburg Fortress’ “Spark Bible” curriculum. In worship, the day’s story is read from the Spark Bible. Recently read stories are:
- 10 Men Healed
- The Good Samaritan
- The Lost Sheep & Coin
- Four Friends
- The Disciples
- Jesus' Baptism
During Sunday School families gather for a retelling of the story, as well as music time. Then the kids split into age appropriate groups and explore the story in various ways together with a parent teacher. The kids and parents learn of God’s love, Jesus’ teachings, and about their church and the rhythms of the liturgical year.
