Children's Sunday School
| 2008-2009 Sunday School Calendar |
Sunday School: 10:25 - 11:05 am
God & Me (3 & 4 year olds)
Location: Inside Noah's Nursery.
A precursor to Godly Play with music and bible stories.
Godly Play (5 year-olds / Kindergarten)
Location: Sunday School wing downstairs. Room 102.
This is a wonderful method of telling stories of the Bible, parables, and teaching the church's liturgical traditions using textured 3-dimensional materials. The Godly Play approach invites children into the stories and encourages them to move into a clearer understanding of faith through "wondering questions." Godly Play models the worship service with a greeting, song, lesson, response time, prayer, feast, and dismissal. An understanding of the stories, symbols, and characteristics of their faith, leads to a more meaningful and appropriate participation in worship.
1st Grade Children's Catechumenate
Location: Sunday School wing Downstairs. Room 103.
St. Peter’s is proud to offer first graders and their families a unique and exciting experience in their Christian journey. Our first grade curriculum, “One Family of Faith” was developed to prepare our children for worship in the Anglican tradition, with a special emphasis on Baptism and Holy Eucharist. This class helps them become active participating members of the body of Christ and culminates with a Festal Eucharist during the Easter Season. Formore information, contact Carol Long at ext. 21 or clong@saint-peters.net.
Coming in Lent 2009!
Children’s Catechumenate will be offered during Lent to older children 2nd grade and up, who are new to St. Peter’s or have not had the opportunity to participate in the One Family of Faith Class First Grade Class. Come learn about our Worship, Anglican Traditions, “Why do we do all that stuff?” And what it means to be a participating member in the Body of Christ. Contact Carol Long at ext. 21 or clong@saint-peters.net for more information.

Sunday School (2nd-5th Grade) Where Kids learn to Rely On Christ our King!
Location: 2nd grade Sunday school wing room 105. 3rd grade through 5th grade in the Parish Hall.
This program continues to grow and you will notice some wonderful changes this year. We will have only a small group time and we have separate spaces for each class. The bible continues to be taught in engaging and relevant ways. We will continue to use the Promiseland curriculum created by Willow Creek Church in Chicago. This is a four-year program, meaning that from second through fifth grade, your child will be exposed to all the major stories of the Bible. Coincidentally, these stories also correlate with the Essential 100, something you will be hearing more about from Father Eric this fall.
We have also added a unique focus to each class. Below you will find more information about each class. To God be the Glory for continuing to bless all of our Sunday school classes by calling wonderful and faithful leaders and by guiding our plans and changes.
