We want the hour prior to Sunday School to be a special time for our youngest Episcopalians. The first grade year is dedicated to exploring the sacramental life of the church. A special, intensive, and thorough curriculum, developed by the Rector, is the basis for eucharistic training. In May the class will celebrate the completion of this program at a special Eucharist Service. The primary school years are characterized by concrete learning.
Children like to learn the who s, what s, and where s of the Bible and of the church.
As they begin reading they are introduced to the Biblical text and to The Book of Common Prayer through the readings each Sunday. Intermediate - Grades Four and Five Children become increasingly sophisticate learners in these years. They enjoy unique learning opportunities that often are different from what they are offered at school. We strive to approach planning for these classes with great creativity and action. This year grades four and five have been charged with leading the Christmas Pageant, a considerable endeavor.
