Church School

Children (Grades 1 -8) are invited to Church School following the Children’s Time during worship. From approximately 10:45 to 11:30 am, the children are engaged in activities that stimulate their imaginations and help them to better understand what it means to live fully in God’s world.

Children are divided into classes according to age (Grades 1-3, 4-6, 7-8).

We use the Seasons of the Spirit curriculum. Susan Burt, Coordinating Editor of Seasons of the Spirit says, "Seasons' vision is for an authentic Christianity lived in our culturally diverse and religiously pluralistic world; to be signs of God’s liberating, compassionate, and inclusive love, and to grow in our relationship with God. Seasons continues to nurture faith through liturgy, ritual, imagination, and to encourage Christian growth through worshipping, learning, and serving together. Our true curriculum is how we live our lives together." Explore their web site at http://www.spiritseasons.com.

Church School is led by a dedicated team of volunteer lay people and ministry personnel, most of whom are parents. They are committed to acknowledging the unique gifts each child brings and to enabling each child to share and develop his or her gifts in an environment that is compassionate, nurturing, and accepting.
