We are now using the new Episcopal curriculum in our
classes, “Weaving God’s Promises”. We are currently
focusing on Bible stories of the Old Testament including
Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Tower of Babel and Abraham
and Isaac. We are also preparing a preconfirmation class for our 5th grade and older students during Sunday school. Please talk to Tammy Morgan, Elizabeth Rasnake or Fr. Dave if you are interested in having your child be a part of this group.
Our Stewardship drive for the fall continues with our 50lb. food collection challenge. We will be collecting canned and boxed food items for the Loaves and Fishes food pantry.
Please send food items with your child each week as able and we appreciate everyone’s participation! We will be
distributing UNICEF boxes to all students for coin collection during October. Extra boxes are on the back table in the church for anyone who is interested in this worthwhile project.
Please return the boxes after November 1st for counting.
On October 9th, the students will perform a song for
Bishop Turner’s visit at the 10am service. There will be no Sunday school so we encourage students to sit with their families. The Nursery will be staffed during this service. We will be singing during the Offertory.
We invite all children to come join us in the Sunday school room on October 30th at 10am for our All Hallows Eve celebration. This will replace the Halloween activities we have had in the past. Children should come in costume as an animal, saint, Bible figure, shepherd, angel, etc. Witches, devils and superhero costumes will not be appropriate for this celebration. We will provide a costume for children from our pageant supply if you are unable to create a costume for your child. Our costumes cannot leave the church before or after October 30th.
During our party students will decorate pumpkins, play
games including a piñata for the young ones and a trivia game for the older kids. We will enjoy our party foods in the back of the Undercroft after the 10am service and all students will receive a treat bag at the end of our party. The students will file into church for communion and then immediately return to Sunday school. To help us plan for our food supplies, we are asking you to sign your child’s name on the sign up sheet in the Undercroft or speak to any of the teachers.
