First Communion Class
This class welcomes children 4th grade and older and their parents. In this class, we learn about the ways that Jesus showed his love, the Lord’s supper and Jesus’ death and resurrection, the baptismal promises that parents make and what will happen when I take my first communion. This class prepares 4th graders to receive their first communion on Maundy Thursday.

Sunday School
Our Sunday School consists of two groups, preschool and elementary age children. We meet September through May from 10:00-11:00 a.m. during the worship service. Sunday School begins Rally Day, September12, 2010 through May15, 2010.
Preschool Sunday School: Ages 3 through 5 yr Kindergarten
These children are invited to Sunday School for the entirety of our Worship service. By using a station approach, our Sunday School staff uses a bible-based curriculum to teach the children of God’s love for them. The children visit 4 stations every Sunday to learn the stories. These include We Sing (music), We Hear (story), We Play (games) and We Make (art).
Grades 1-5 Sunday School
Our 1st through 5th graders are invited to participate in the first part of our worship service and then continue to Sunday School following the passing of the peace. Our Sunday School follows a rotational approach. We spend 4 weeks learning a lesson, one Sunday in each of the following rotations: Noah’s Art (art), Manna-facturing (cooking), Cinema on the Mount (movie/video) and Temple Tales (Bible story/games).
We are now accepting registrations. You may get registration forms by contacting the church office (414-541-9500). Any questions may be directed to Sue Ahlf (414) 541-9500 or sue.mounthope@sbcglobal.net

Adult Small Groups
For what would you change your schedule to be a part? Small Groups at Mount Hope are lead by the small group leaders who are trained in a principle-based approach to ministry. Small groups are places that foster safe places that foster authentic relationships and individual growth, intentional gatherings to accomplish and agreed-upon purpose, community and fellowship based on people, not programs, opportunities to grow in relationships with other to encourage spiritual growth.
