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.

So far, Christianity is considered as the biggest religion and Protestantism is one of the oldest denominations. Being part of this discipleship is something that brings uncontained happiness to someone who has been ruled by the religious conviction formulated in Christianity although there are critical values of the religion that are disregarded subtly over the years by the new generations. Even so, church leaders have enthusiastically tried to revive the lost values by means of executing programs upon which the Lutheran church Wilmington actively gets involved.

Lutheranism was started by the late Martin Luther, a friar in the Order of the Augustinian Recollects who later on referred to as the Father of the Reformation. The principles of Lutheranism are basically extracted from the beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. Baptism is a huge part of this religious movement which is why believing adults and infants are required to be baptized.

Anyhow, for someone who wishes to help gather the lost flock or retain the values Jesus left to mankind, it might be a good idea to volunteer as teacher in the Sunday school. Besides, this is way easier than ordinary schools. Teachers do not have to prepare tough quizzes to students or send them to places where lessons can be best understood.

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 are plenty of churches that need several volunteers. Thing is, interested parties may be necessitated to serve extra hours if needed. Volunteers, though, will be given options as to what time they can easily do their volunteer job without compromising their personal life.

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 is not about being tied up with every religious activity. It is necessary to know that a volunteer is there to serve his community rather than the priests in raising money for the sake of themselves. They can if they wish to, though.

There is a huge difference between volunteering to teach and to be on a mission. For those interested in the Sunday school, they do not need to be sent somewhere unless they ask for it. And besides, they cannot be anywhere without the approval of the entire ministry as well.
