In an attempt to address that need, we have changed our curriculum this year to a lectionary based program, which will allow the children to study in their classes the same Bible passages that are read in our worship service on Sundays. On September 10 we open the Church School year at 9 o'clock. We are blessed to have several new teachers on board for this year. There are some changes in the grouping of children. The classes are outlined in the youth ministry brochure sent to all families in August.
Copies are available in the narthex and in the church office.
We will continue to offer Children's Chapel most Sundays during the 10 o'clock service. The children exit to Gray Hall during the Gradual Hymn for a time of instruction, prayer, and praise. They join the congregation again at the exchange of the peace. Many of the children complain of hunger by this time of the morning, because they have been at church since 9 o'clock for Sunday school. Please let me know of any objection you may have to this, since children may indeed end up bringing the snack up with them when they join their families.
