Families & Youth Programs

  

Sunday School – Island Lutheran Church believes that our year around Sunday School is an important aspect of a child’s faith development.  Sunday School is a place to get to know Jesus Christ, learn the Bible and build friendships.  Our church believes that the way to eternal life is through our Lord Jesus Christ, and our goal is to bring the news of Jesus to children and their families. 

      Learning the Bible is an important phase of Sunday School.  We cover many of the major stories in the Bible through song, crafts, story telling and games.

       Sunday School Hour begins at 9:50 a.m. for both youth and adults.  The singing begins with Song Director, Judy Crimm.  Birthdays of youth and adults are recognized, as well as anniversaries and other special events in the lives of our members and guests.  We have a good time, young and old, as we praise our God.  At 10:00 the youth and their teachers move to their classrooms with adult Sunday School continuing in Graudin Hall.

 

Christian Family Fellowship Nights are held during the year as a fun time for families to engage in games, food, and other entertainment. 

Confirmation – Confirmation is a two - year program to help the 7th and 8th grader to become an adult in their faith.  Classes are held from September to May, by Pastor Hollis.  Following the successful completion of the course of study the student becomes a confirmed member of Island Lutheran Church.        

Special Events Our annual Valentine's dinner is a an elegant evening of dining and special music.  Our youth serves a sit down Easter Breakfast for all to enjoy between services on Easter Morning.  We also host a yearly rummage sale to earn money for HandyCamp.

Youth  - Our youth group, 7th grade through high school, is committed to building a relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ  that gives us eternal life.  With the power of the Holy Spirit, we come to know Jesus as a person that we can talk to, a person we love, a person who lived the perfect life and died on a cross for our sins.  Our youth get to know each other.  We meet on a regular basis throughout the school year and periodically in the summer to build relationships and deliver Christian support.  Our 1000 square foot youth room is the center for our fun activities.  We meet on Sunday mornings at 10:00 for Bible Study with Pastor Hollis.

    Our current youth missions: We have a close relationship with P.E.P. (Programs For Exceptional People).  P.E.P. provides assistance for mentally challenged adults.   Each year we hold the P.E.P. Prom for these exceptional adults.

    The youth will again travel to Indiana to volunteer at HandyCamp the summer of 2008. HandyCamp is for mentally challenging adults where our youth  worked on a one on one basis, 24 hours a day for one week.  It’s a favorite mission for our youth.
