The Lutheran Church And Its Sunday School

By Kristen Baird


Molded by Christian doctrines and governed by faith, it surely feels wonderful being guided by the light of Jesus. And though many are enlightened by His supernatural existence, others simply consider Him as a myth with whom people draw strength in times of trouble. Questions about His grace and divinity have been everywhere but what can be there to ask knowing His love for everyone has been manifested since day one? It is quite saddening, though, that more and more individuals today have become less and less religious.

By far, Christianity is the largest religion and one of its oldest denominations is Protestantism. To be part of the discipleship is something which brings genuine happiness to those who are ruled by Christian religious conviction although some of its critical values are subtly disregarded for years by the younger generation. Nevertheless, church leaders are keen on bringing back the lost values by implementing programs for which the Lutheran church Wilmington is actively involved.

Lutheranism was founded by Martin Luther, a priest in the Order of the Augustinian Recollects that later referred as a father of the reformation. The Lutheranism principles are basically patterned after the practices and beliefs of the Catholic Church. Christening is a big part of this movement that is why infants and believing adults are necessitated to be baptized.

Anyway, for individuals who wish to help retain the values of Jesus through gathering the lost flock, it would be a wise idea to become teachers in Sunday schools. Besides, these are so much easier than any regular schools. Volunteer teachers do not need to prepare daily quizzes for the students nor send them to school educational trips where lessons are better explained.

Catechism is fun. Students will not only be introduced to God's divinity, they will also have plenty of chance to make great friends around. And what could be more exciting than knowing not just the spiritual aspects of life but how to make this more interesting through becoming part of a bigger group?

There must be plenty of churches out there that need more volunteers. The odd is, interested parties might be required to serve some extra hours if necessary. Volunteers, however, will be asked for their most preferred time before both parties agree about the volunteer job.

Initial background check will be done upon application but aspirants need not worry. If they have nothing to hide, nothing can surely hinder them from being part of it. This, however, requires applicants to become church members. If not, this does not necessarily stops them volunteering.

Being a volunteer teacher does not mean an aspirant needs to be completely committed to all religious activities. Applicants should know that volunteers will be there to serve their community not than the mendicants in raising money for themselves. Of course, they could if they wanted to.

There is a big difference between a volunteer teacher and a missionary. For people interested in Catechism, they do not have to go out to spread the word of God unless they want it. And besides, they can never be anywhere without the ministry's approval.
