Esther Bible Story 

Greetings Sunday School families! 
We are missing many of our children at Sunday School due to schedule conflicts with sports etc.  We care about your child’s Christian education and are looking for ways to partner with you in connecting with them when we don’t get to see them!
We are attaching the weekly video clip that we use in our Sunday School opening time as well as the scripture passage the lesson comes from. We encourage you to share this lesson with your child each week. 
Please feel free to contact us if we can be of assistance.  Blessings in Christ – Christ Lutheran Church Sunday School team
