Welcome to Sunday School!
Sunday School (for children) occurs each Sunday. After the Children's Chat portion of the worship celebration, the children move to the back room where they meet with a teacher for about twenty minutes. The children return to the worship space in time for the offering and communion.
Teachers- you have a lot of freedom with how to run your lesson. A Children's Bible is available for the children and that is the book referenced by the pages below. The link just below has great resources for you to use. In other words, you can bring things to do that help expand on the lesson (i.e., arts and crafts) or you could have the children write get well cards to those who are sick in church, or you could have them write Christmas or birthday cards to the child we sponsor, whose name is Messia.
Or you can "just" read the story from the Children's Bible and discuss it with the group.
Of note: try to get to church a bit early to set up the back room if it has not already been done.
