Sunne
Lutheran Youth includes those youth
grade 7-12. This group meets
periodically for potlucks, breakfasts,
activities, conversation, faith journeys
and a major summer activity.
At Sunne Lutheran we value the
opportunity to learn more about God and
to grow in our faith. We offer a
variety of educational
experiences. All ministry at Sunne
is guided by three themes:
-
God
welcomes us into God's family at our
baptism. God reaches out to us and
claims us as God's child. Our
whole life is our response to God's
action in our baptism.
-
God
keeps our relationship fresh through
Holy Communion. In Holy Communion,
we receive the physical forgiveness and
acceptance that we need to live out our
faith.
-
Worship
is central to our faith. All
people are encouraged to worship--not
only formally at Sunne but every moment
of our life.
Sunday
School classes are offered for
children ages 3 (if accompanied by a
parent) or age 4 (if unaccompanied by a
parent) through sixth grade.
Classes are held Sunday mornings during
the school year. Because we value
our worship, personalized hymnals are
given to third grade students in the
fall of their third grade year.
Since we treasure the word of God,
Beginners Bibles are given to first
grade students in the spring of their
first grade year and personalized Bibles
are given to fifth grade students in the
fall of their fifth grade year.
 Confirmation
is a program of learning about the growing in our faith. Confirmation is a
2 1/4 year program. Classes are taught from grades 7-9. Classes are
generally held on Sunday mornings during the school year. Small group
activities, work projects, and a summer trip are also part of this
program. Confirmation Sunday (9th grade) is usually the last Sunday in October.
The age of First Communion is
determined by the parents in conjunction
with the pastor. First Communion
is offered to any age level and is
usually completed by the time a person
is in fifth grade. First Communion
is offered every fall.
Summer Youth Activities:
- Vacation Bible School - (nursery
through 6th grade) - is a one week program
given during the summer. In the
last few years, VBS has been held for 2
1/2 hours during the evening.
- Camp of the Cross (Located
near Lake Sakakawea) -
provides a safe but thrilling
environment in which your child will
grow as a person of faith and increase
in positive self-regard. Check out

- Confirmation Camping Trip - includes a trip to the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt
National Park.
