SUNDAY SCHOOL 2025/2026
Sunday school meeting for parents and grandparents on

September 7th, 2025 after the Service. 

We would like to speak with parents, grandparents, and those interested in Sunday School. This past Sunday we brainstormed with the children- elementary and middle school about what they find meaningful in Sunday School. We would like your input. Specifically, what would you like to see: what are your expectations and what are you able to commit- time wise? Safe Church requires 2 volunteers that have a criminal record check to help with each age group.

For the 2025-2026 Sunday school year we would like to have separate classes based on age range. The plan is for children in preK to grade 5 to attend Sunday school and work through the Life With God for Children curriculum. The curriculum focuses on spiritual formation through relationships, specifically our relationship with God and with others. We will talk about how the biblical characters interacted with God and people in their communities while working on a craft or project together.

Children in grade 6 to 9 (middle school) will attend bible study where they’ll focus on a book of the bible or perhaps the Chosen series. Middle school children will be able to engage the bible in a more in depth, robust way than they did before. It is hoped / expected that teens that are high school age will remain in the service with their families, help serve (crucifer) or perhaps work in the AV booth.

Children under the age of 3 can either remain with their parents or play in the nursery. At the present time we do not have a designated person to tend the nursery. Safe Church requires 2 volunteers that have a criminal record check to help with each age group. We are hoping to meet with parents after church on September 7th to discuss what their expectations for Sunday school are and to gauge whether parents are interested in helping.

Thank you very much,
Crystal
