ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MINISTRY - SPRING 2025

Sunday Morning Faith Formation (Sunday School)

Animals in the Bible
April 27 through May 18 from 10:05-10:45 a.m.

God created the sun, moon and stars. God also created hippos, sheep and whales! From the smallest critters walking the earth to the broadest wings soaring the sky, God created them all and called them good. For four weeks, we will dive into key stories in the Bible that included animals and what those animals taught God's people. Then, we'll bring those animals to life through art, games and more!

At Abiding Presence, our Sunday morning faith formation follows a workshop model. Kids get to pick an age-appropriate workshop to engage in for the seven week session. Read more about our innovative approach to Sunday School in this article from The Living Lutheran magazine and scroll down the page to read our FAQs.

Registration is LIVE! While pre-registration isn’t required, it helps us out with planning and means you can jump right into the fun when you arrive. Questions, contact Michaela Putnam-Kwon, Children & Family Minister, at michaela@abidingpresence.net.
