Stewardship - We Offer Our Gifts . St. Paul's Sunday School offering is called Pennies From Heaven and is an offering to the Diocese of Renk in Southern Sudan. Through our offering, we instill in our youngest children a sense of the needs of the greater world, a sure knowledge that the gifts that they bring are helping other children in Sudan to eat, to have clothing, and to study. The classes take turns collecting the offering and bringing it to the altar, helping to increase a feeling of participation in the ritual and a sense of belonging. We Offer Our Thanks .
Opening closes with a simple prayer of thanksgiving for our families, homes, and friends.
We use the same prayer each week so that the children will have time during the week to reflect on the prayer and to begin to make it a part of their own experience. The school is run by an independent Board of Directors, the majority of whom are representatives of the parish. It is among the finest nursery schools in the area and preferential treatment is given to children of those who have been confirmed and have been pledging members of the parish for at least one year prior to admission. Some scholarship help is available.
