School Age

5- and 6-year-olds
Room 213 in the Education Wing of the Parish Center

Godly Play is offered during the 9 AM worship hour for 5- and 6-year-olds. The children gather to encounter the word of God and the rituals of the church in a Montessori-based, multisensory, hands-on approach to Christian formation and education. The children are introduced to and enter into the religious language by hearing the stories of God, wondering and responding to the stories, praying together, and being surrounded in a child-friendly worship setting. The Godly Play classrooms provide a threshold of sacredness, safety, and wonder. The children are encouraged to enter into the presence of God through discovery and play. This is one place where our children’s ideas, opinions, and gifts are deeply respected. Not only do our children learn the stories of God, but they also are encouraged to explore their spirituality through prayer and theological reflection. In addition to Godly Play, we also enhance our Sunday morning experience with Children’s Worship. Using worship techniques that speak to all children’s learning styles and needs such as sign language, music, and special worship materials, we give children an opportunity to enter into the presence of God.

At 10 AM, pick-up after Godly Play is in the Chapel.

Grades 3 and 4
Room 212 in the Education Wing of the Parish Center

Children older than 8 years old attend church with their families at the 9:00 AM service.

During the 10 AM Enrichment Hour, they meet to discover God in their lives through stories, Bible study, the Book of Common Prayer, open and thoughtful discussion, prayer, games, activities, and service projects. This year we have created our own curriculum called "Sowing the Seeds of Faith." This is a lectionary-based curriculum. The children are discussing the same scriptures as heard in church at the 9 AM service. Throughout the year, the children will explore different Episcopal themes, such as the Saints, Baptism, Lent, and Holy Eucharist. The clergy will share with the children on the Labyrinth, Contemplative Prayer, and Holy Eucharist. Fellowship activities will be provided throughout the year to continue to foster and build community.
