Stacy Hjelmstad

Director of Christian Education

 

My name is Stacy Hjelmstad and I am the Director of Christian Education.  I am responsible for our Sunday school program for ages 2˝ thru 5th grade.

Mission The mission of our Christian Education program at First Lutheran Church is to strengthen the faith of God's children and their knowledge of the Good News of Jesus Christ through creative and nurturing Sunday School programs.

Sunday Church School  “Awesome Adventures with Jesus” is our Sunday school program is for children ages 2˝ through 5th grade.

Rotational Curriculum Our Sunday school program is a rotational curriculum utilizing the eight following sites: Hannah's House (Creative Cookery), The Creation Room (Science), Storytelling Tent (Storytelling and Drama), Amphitheater (Movie and Theater), Joseph's Workshop (Art), Fountain of Joy (Music and Movement), Gabriel's Arcade (Games) and Heaven.com (Computer Lab).

Classes for 2 ˝-year-olds (Little Lambs) through Preschool have a similar curriculum, but are self contained within their classrooms.  Preschool aged children enjoy bible stories, crafts, and music in a fun and educational environment.  Little Lambs begins one Sunday in January each year and is open to any child who will be three by September 15th of the same year.  Link to pictures of the Sunday Church School.

 

Vacation Church School Will be held June 23rd thru 27th, 2008. Children will meet in Fellowship Hall Monday through Friday from 9:00 to 12:00 Noon. Each year there is a different theme.  This year we will be doing “Power Lab.”


The Children's Christmas Program is a musical pageant held on a Sunday in December. During the Christmas program the children donate a toy that is then given to Ecumenical Social Ministries, an outreach to the needy of Colorado Springs.
