Sunday School!
Each Sunday after the Children's Moment during the worship service, children are invited to join our teachers for a Sunday School Lesson. During the School Year we offer two multi-age classes:
Parents are welcome to come with their children, or enjoy the rest of worship and the sermon in the sanctuary. At the end of the worship service parents can meet their children in the classrooms before enjoying coffee hour.

- Grades 4-8: taught by Bethany Dunfee, M.S.

We have new curricula for all three classes, all published by Sparkhouse publishers. https://www.wearesparkhouse.org
The younger ages, Pre-K through grade 3 (Bethany's classes), will be using a "classroom" approach to learning this year. This means they will be exploring the bible chronologically beginning with the Old Testament Stories from September through the end of November. Then after Christmas, New Testament Stories will be explored. Using a fun age appropriate video series following the "Whirl" Curriculum by Sparkhouse publishers, PreK - Kindergarteners will have take home sheets to reinforce the lessons.

The older children (grades 4-8) are learning lessons connected to the lectionary readings for each week. There are fewer pre-published curricula which focus on the lectionary for this age group. We were able to find a video lesson series from Whirl which includes take home sheets to reinforce the lesson each week. A sample can be viewed at by clicking on the button to the right.

In addition, we have videos from the "Connect" curricula, designed specifically for Tweens which follow a "classroom" approach to learning. These may be used to reinforce lectionary topics as needed.
We are very grateful for the generosity of a few dedicated members of our congregation who have paid for these curricula and made it possible for us to improve our Sunday School teaching and learning!
