Hello Sunday School Families!

It's been a busy few weeks around here! A big thanks to all the kids and families with the Christmas Program! I've heard countless times how people thoroughly enjoyed the show this year. If you'd like to share or rewatch the program, it's up on the app and our website (click here: "His Name is Jesus" Christmas Program). We will also have photos soon; thanks to Danielle Carlson for doing that for us! 


We also had our Cookies & Craft night last Wednesday! The kids learned about the Scandinavian "Tomten", read a book, and then made their own little Tomte! Of course we all enjoyed cookies, too!


This Wednesday, Dec. 18th, we are going to have a Christmas Music concert at 6:00 featuring you and your kids!
If you or your kids would like to share music with us, this is the perfect opportunity! We'll have a piano to play, but you can bring instruments as well. Reply to this email to sign up.


Next week is Christmas! We'll have three worship services.

This will be the last update until probably the 2nd. Sunday School will resume on Sunday, January 5th. We are in need of a teacher for the 5th; if you're interested please let us know! 

Have a great week! And Merry Christmas!

Hello Sunday School Families!

This coming Sunday is our Christmas Program! Woohoo! We'll have a final dress rehearsal this Saturday from 9am-11am (or maybe 10:30) in the Sanctuary! Drop off and pick up will be in the Sanctuary. 

Details for Sunday:

  • Bring your kids to worship; Pr. Tim will dismiss them after the Gospel reading, about 9:15/20.
  • The regular service will be shortened; when it's done there will be a brief transition right into the Christmas Program.
  • For now we are having the kids just dress in nicer Sunday clothes; but we are thinking about doing a congregation-wide ugly sweater day (or just regular ol' sweater), in which case it'd be fun for the kids to dress in ugly sweaters, too. 
    • We'll send an email Thursday if we make it Ugly Sweater Sunday :)

Kids attending the Cookies & Craft event this Wednesday can ride bus #19 to church, or you can drop your kids off around 3:30/45. We'll have a snack and hot cocoa, make a Christmas Tomte (gnome), and decorate cookies. Pick up is at 5:00 in the Sunday School room. Parents are welcome to stick around and help!


On Dec. 18th we are going to have a Christmas Music concert at 6:00 featuring you and your kids! If you or your kids would like to share music with us, this is the perfect opportunity! We'll have a piano to play, but you can bring instruments as well. Reply to this email to sign up.


I've created some resources for you to work on the Christmas program songs at home--you have many options; hopefully one works for your family!

  • Listen in our church App; you can even play them without having the app open!
    • Haven't downloaded the app yet? Search "First Lutheran Amery" in the app store. Click here for more detailed instructions.
  • Listen on spotify; the only downfall is that the theme song, "His Name is Jesus" is not available.
  • Listen on Youtube; the only downfall is that some of the songs have extra verses you don't need to know.

Have a great week!

Remember to invite your families to the Christmas Program! And keep practicing the songs at home!
