| Almighty God, heavenly Father, you have
blessed us with the joy and care of children: Give us calm
strength and patient wisdom as we bring them up, that we may
teach them to love whatever is just and true and good,
following the example of our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

Christian Education at
Saint Paul’s incorporates:
- Sunday School Classes
- Weekly Worship
- Fellowship Events
Sunday School Classes .
. .
This year’s Sunday School classes look to be
educational, meaningful, and fun. The curriculum we
are using is called “All things New”. This
curriculum has special lessons for all grades. It is
based on Biblical stories and is very engaging. On
the back of this pamphlet you will see the schedule
of stories to be explored. Please make note of the
dates we are not having Sunday school and come the
rest of the time. Remember the more people who come
consistently the more we can learn together.
Classes are scheduled from 9:30 am until 10:15 am
every Sunday that is scheduled.
Weekly Worship . . .
We encourage all
to attend our weekly Sunday worship services at
10:30 am right after Sunday school. Worship is where
much of our education takes place. This year we will
have a special time for children during many of our
Holy Eucharist Services. Father Layden will give
a short children’s homily in the beginning of many
services. Children are encouraged to participate
as much as they can and want to during the service.
Any child up to second grade may make use of the
nursery any time. You can have your child stay
for the children’s homily and then leave with others
to the nursery. They can start in the nursery and
you can get them before Holy Communion. They can
stay in the nursery throughout the service if you
would like. Please be respectful of the service and
others who are worshipping when you are escorting
young children in and out of the service.
Fellowship Events . . .
In order to foster continued growth of relationships among
parents and children in God’s church we have a few
fellowship events planned. There will be separate flyers
mailed out for each event. Let’s have some fun together this
year.
- Kickoff Breakfast on
September 10th
- Blessing of the
Animals on October 1st
- Christmas fellowship event TBA
- Spring Fellowship event TBA
