Sunday School

It is hard to believe that our Sunday School year is coming to an end in just a few weeks! Since February, we have been learning how God uses the Holy Spirit to build on and express our faith through the study of the Disciples and Apostles of the early church. It’s awesome to see our students growing in their faith and understanding. 
We also experienced Holy Week in an Eggshell on Sunday, April 7th during the Sunday School hour. Families from our Sunday School and Mom & Tots programs walked from Beth-page to Jerusalem shouting Hosanna, learned about servitude & Holy Communion in the events of Maundy Thursday, heard about Christ’s suffering and death on Good Friday, and made Resurrection eggs to be a constant reminder of Jesus’ joyous victory over death. Easter eggs were hidden in our Sunday School classrooms for an Easter egg hunt after our adventures. It was great to see our families engaging in the Holy Week events.  
The children will sing on more time on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 12th, at the 10:45am service. Our last day of Sunday School will be Sunday, May 19th, and we will host a small reception to celebrate a great year!

We are so blessed with such talented children, willing to share their gifts with our church!  Thank you to all who participated in the Children’s Christmas Service on December 16, 2018.  We prayed before the service and the Holy Spirit definitely guided our steps as well as our voices to share the good news “that Jesus Christ is born!”  We asked our Sunday School students as well as the Confirmation students to volunteer for reading parts. With a great response we had readers as young as 1st grade and multiple willing Jr. High readers to help with the more challenging verses. It was amazing to watch the progression of all of our students (especially the preschoolers) learning songs, which they had to memorize, under the direction of Mr. Gagne. We celebrated after the service with lunch, gifts, and a Happy Birthday, Jesus cake.

 We started the new year teaching the visit of the Wise Men on Epiphany. We will continue to follow Jesus growth into adulthood, exploring His Baptism, Temptation and calling of His Disciples.  In late February, we will begin to study God sending the Holy Spirit to and His work through the Apostles, concentrating on Paul over the Spring months.   
We are always amazed at the curiosity and insight from our students each week.  It is a blessing that we continue to have approximately 30 students each week and would love to see even more.
Our students will sing in church again this semester.  Parents, please watch from announcements and handouts once dates are finalized.  There will be Sunday School each Sunday through May 19, 2019, except for Easter Sunday, April 21, 2019.
With thankful hearts,
