First Lutheran Grapple

Grapple for 5th and 6th graders.

Grapple is a program from Group Publishing in Loveland designed for (and often by) 5th and 6th graders. The writers made a strong effort to work with this age group to find topics and discussion formats that would engage 5th and 6th graders.

There are two main parts to Grapple—the Sunday Morning group time and an online component to keep the class connected during the week.
