First Confirmation Class 2013
Students started their first afternoon of Confirmation classes on Wednesday, August 28. We had an after school snack, opened with devotions (Responsive Prayer 2), recited the ten commandments and their meanings, and started looking through the various parts of the catechism (spending quite a bit of time on the church year, Luther's seal and Christian symbols). The students were inquisitive and eager to learn. Here is a couple pictures of the class afterward.

Here are some pictures from the first day of the Grace Lutheran After School Care Program. We have 31 signed up and 23 came the first day. They had a cupcake snack, story, made name tags and played games. Helpers were Nicole, Lorna, and Barb along with Director Kathy Heckert.

Free After School Care
Grace Lutheran to Offer Free After School Care Program
Grace Lutheran Church has announced it is beginning a free after school care program for students in first to sixth grades. The program will provide a safe place for young school children to enjoy activities, crafts, snacks, an object lesson or Bible story, and an opportunity for study. The program will be one day a week, Mondays, from after school to 5:45 starting Monday, August 26. School buses will bring the students to the church. All students must register. Registration forms can be picked up at either of two open houses 7:00-8:30PM Monday, August 19 and Wednesday, August 21 at Grace Lutheran Church (508 K St) or picked up at the church office (402-887-4791). This free program is being funded by the Grace Lutheran Thrivent group. The Thrivent group wanted to do something to give back to the community. Pastor Kuhfal said, "Our members desired to do something to help serve the families in our community. It is hard to parent today. We want to provide a safe place where parents can bring their children one day a week.". A director will be hired to oversee the program. Members of the church will help volunteer to staff the program, as well as provide snacks and craft materials.
