Rally Day is an important day of the year; as traditions remain strong, it is the start of Sunday School. Our 2 & 3 year old youth receive story bibles, our 4th graders receive youth bibles in worship, and all Sunday School classes start. Some of our adult Sunday School classes meet through the summer months, while others take a break during the summer months.
Coincidentally, Rally Day is also ‘God’s work. Our hands.’ Sunday in the ELCA. God’s work. Our hands. Sunday is a significant date in the church, as it is a unified day of service across the nation. Churches all over America participate in community service projects.
