Resurrection Lutheran Church (RLC) offers a broad array of Christian education opportunities to grow in grace, including Sunday morning education classes for adults and children, confirmation classes, mid-week Bible studies, and Vacation Bible School held in the summer.
Sunday Morning
RLC values Christian education, for adults and children, and considers it to be an essential part of a healthy equipping ministry. We offer Sunday School opportunities for adults and children from 9:30-10:30 am, September through May. Occasionally, we offer summer Bible study opportunities.
Adult Christian Education
Poetry and Our Christian Faith
Poets have often addressed the key issues of life, such as love, faith, hope, grief, and death. This series of lessons will examine some of the world's greatest poems and will use them as springboards to examine what the Scriptures have to say on the same topics. Included in this study will be poems by Emily Dickinson, William Shakespeare, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Dylan Thomas, T.S. Eliot, and William Butler Yeats.
Join us on Sunday mornings from 9:30-10:30 am in the Fellowship Hall!
You will want to bring your Bibles to each class. Copies of the poems will be distributed at each session. Led by Larry Cameron.

God gives His Word to instruct, guide, and bless our lives. The Scripture lessons in worship offer a menu every week to build up the people of God in faith and hope. We will study the lessons for the following Sunday, and as we do, we expect that this Word will enrich and edify our community prayer, faith, and servant life in Christ.
We will study the coming Sunday Scripture lessons, confident that the Spirit will be:
- Enhancing and enriching our Sunday worship life!
- Letting God's Word edify daily and Sunday faith life!
- Connecting the themes of the four lessons into a tapestry!
- Listening to the Spirit of God at work in Word and one another!
- Building our community life together!
