Sunday School will start again with Rally Sunday (September 20) this fall so it is time to start to get organized.
We are taking a new approach and plan to use the free curriculum provided by the Episcopal Church "Lesson Plans that Work", based on the Sunday readings.
We recently launched our Fall Stewardship campaign - Plenty Good Room - and we certainly have lots of room for providing an appropriate Sunday experience for our children and we do have the talent and even just the time to do this. The curriculum offers opening and closing prayers, a retelling of the bible story and ideas for activities. The children join the congregation at the offertory so session time is about 30 minutes.
We would like to have at least 4 and preferably 6 teams of at least 2 people. There are different ways the teams could function -- one person could take responsibility for making a plan and leading the session with a second person to be a helping presence, or both people could work together to plan and share session leadership.
In seeking volunteers, we need people willing to plan and lead, or, to work together as a team, or, be willing to be a second set of hands in the classroom. There are two pre-requisites -- a willingness to help and completion of the required Safe Church modules.
As many heads are better than one, we plan to have teams meet on August 22nd (Saturday) at 9 am in the Parish Hall to brainstorm the session outlines and spark ideas for activities.
Use this form to indicate your willingness to help, or speak to Nancy Alzo.
