Sunday School
Our Sunday School Superintendents are Cheryl and Darryl Ferguson. Teachers include parents and grandparents as well as interested teens and others from the congregation.
You will find the Sunday School at St. George’s gathering in the Parish Hall shortly before the 10:30 am Sunday service on all but the first Sunday of the month. The first Sunday we all sit together at the front of the worship space on the right side of the centre section. Those children who are competent readers have the opportunity to read one of the Scripture readings for the day. We gather on the chancel steps with the children from the choir for the children’s homily. We help lead the children’s hymn and then process out to our class.
At present, the Sunday School is made up of two classes. The younger group (3-4 year olds) and the older group (kindergarten to grade 6) share the space in the Parish Hall. The Nursery gathers downstairs.
We are using a new to us curriculum this year- Gather ‘Round. This is a story based curriculum. Music, games, story telling, and activities all focused on the bible story of the week form the core of the program. The children join their parents for communion most Sundays.
This fall the older children are also enjoying “ behind the scenes” tours once a month after worship. In September we went behind the doors and in the drawers of the vestry and sacristy with our tour guide Lyndon. In October we had an inside view of the organ and music room. We even tried out the organ!
The children will be involved in a service project each month-everything from carrying the gifts to the altar to raising money to support the service work of their choice.
Our Nursery space on the lower level has been redesigned to accommodate both this new program (Come and Follow Jesus) and nursery care. Both programs sharing the same space will allow easy transition for the youngsters as they progress to the next level. We encourage you to consider this ministry for your little ones. For more nursery information contact Marlene Ramsay through the church office.
All classes are 10:30 am every Sunday, September through May.
