Overview

After resting and rejuvenating during our Summer season, the Christian Education Board and Sunday School committee are now preparing for our Sunday Morning Education Hour in the Fall. This year the Sunday School season opens with great excitement because new classes and programs are emerging from the Summer’s journeys! One very unique program that has emerged this Summer is Godly Play. We are busy integrating this Montessori curriculum into our Sunday School program! Godly Play is a BOLD STEP action that emerged out of the Kairos Family Visioning process. More information will be shared as Sunday School resumes in September! On Sunday, September 12, we will “kick-off” the Sunday School programs with our traditional “Rally Day” celebrations. On Sunday, September 19, the children will begin their Sunday School routines in their classrooms!

New Classes

Are you wondering what’s so exciting about the return of Sunday School?

This year we are adding 2 additional Sunday School classes (Family Circle Time & Engaging Insights) and 2 new Sunday School programs (Heart Shapers & Godly Play). Now, every person from infants to elders will have a place to study and learn about God’s Word! Listed below are the classes that will be available on Sunday mornings! Start planning now and chose a class for every member of your family to attend in the Fall!
