Christian Education

YOUTH PROGRAM

The Director of Christian Education is Dan Beebe. The Nursery supervisor is Emily Miller.

The Christian Education Committee has prepared an exciting and challenging course of study starting on September 7.

Our staff is fully trained and is certified in Red Cross CRP/First Aid and completed the Episcopal Sexual Abuse/Prevention program.

Nursery

Our nursery is staffed from 9:45 am to 11:15 am for children ages newborn to 4. Our nursery attendant not only interacts with the children but also covers a Bible story with various activity using the Living the Good News material from Morehouse Publishing, http:www/livingthegoodnews.com

Children

Our Primary department is for ages 4 to12. Sunday School for children meets at 10:00 a.m. We use an exciting interactive program called LIVE B.I.G. One Room from Cokesbury, http:www/cokesbury.com. This uses DVD, CD and written material for crafts and songs.

Both our Nursery and Primary departments meet together for the Children's Sermon using lectionary material from  http//www csspub.com. At the parent's request we will bring the children to the church service during the Offertory to celebrate Eucharist with their family.

There are take home worksheets following the same lectionary of the Gospel that is used during the church service. The youth also receive a mid-week bulletin that re-enforces the lectionary of the day that are called Gospel Grams, http://www.csspub.com
