Sunday School
All children three and older are invited to attend Sunday School immediately following Liturgy. The adults are asked to allow the children and teachers to venerate the Cross first, so they can get their lunch and take it to the Sunday School building for opening exercises. Middle and High School students should eat their food in the parish hall and not plan to eat their food in Father Gregory’s home during Sunday School.
2007/2008 Calendar Year
Church School classes begin after Liturgy on September 9th; all children 3 and up are invited to attend. Teachers should all have received their curricula and most families already have their parents' guide — a selection of coloring pages and puzzles to supplement our lessons as well as ideas of activities you can do at home to reinforce our theme for that week. We also have a take-home sheet for each lesson; if you miss the lesson in Church School, the take-home sheet will be in the labeled box in the Social Hall.
The Church History year is, to my mind, the single most important and the most difficult year of the Church School 4-year curriculum — material your children will not have presented anywhere else and that they will NEED when they get to college and are faced with agnostics, Protestants, and Roman Catholics in classes and dormitories. Help them to prepare, PLEASE! We cannot start too young to educated our children; they are our future!
