Sunday School
What is the purpose of Sunday School?
The Gospel calls us to teach and learn! While Jesus didn't take attendance as
children and adults gathered around Him or call such gatherings "Sunday school",
His words and actions clearly teach that learning and faithfulness are
intertwined. Through baptism we are named and claimed as God's own. Our daily
return to baptism is a "post-it-note" reminder of who we are and how God wants
us to live. Sunday school is a place for children, youth and adults to hear the
Bible story and to be reminded of their baptismal identity. It is a place for us
to sense our belonging as God's children and to grow in the knowledge of God's
love. It is a place where we use and discover our gifts as we learn how to be
Christian disciples.
Sunday School kicked off this year at 9:15 am on September 14th. Parents joined us for an orientation meeting where they learned about some
of the changes to our Sunday School program and then for refreshments and
fellowship where they met the teachers.
This year we have a Family Service that begins at 9:15 AM in conjunction with Sunday School. The service begins with a gathering time as the Sunday School children and parents sing songs of praise to God. After a children's message that reinforces the Sunday School lesson of the day, the Sunday school breaks into their classes as the parents continue in worship.
