Summer Is Here!

Children universally look forward to summer! It is a time of warm days, increased free time, and, often, new adventures and discoveries. No doubt you have summer plans---short or long vacation trips, great activities, and family outings.

I hope that Sunday School is part of your summer plans. Summer will bring visitors to your church, as well as families that are using the summer months to move from one job or city to another and are seeking a new church home. Your summer Sunday School can show your congregation’s commitment to Christian education, even as it provides an opportunity for these new folks to get to know others in the church and community.

Concordia Publishing House’s new summer quarter will be a wonderful adventure: 3 in 1: Discovering Our Triune God. Using a summer camp environment (that will compliment this summer’s VBS theme, Camp Discovery), these thirteen lessons will review what we confess about God in the Apostles’ Creed. Along the way, students will dig into 3 Old Testament Bible accounts, 7 events from the Gospels, and 3 lessons from the Book of Acts. The material offers two levels of instruction---one for non-readers and early readers, and one for accomplished readers---and our popular “Search and Find” lesson leaflets, plus a Director CD packed with additional resources.

May God bless your summer as you help children discover their three-in-one God!
