Church School Begins Soon: Please Register!
We couldn’t be more excited to start our new program year together! This fall we are offering two options for children’s Church School:
In-Person, Outdoor Church School on Sunday Mornings at 10am
Meet us under canopy tents in the Cloister Garden! During our hands-on classes, we’ll hear Bible stories in creative ways, explore and make art, learn fun facts, and explore our own feelings and responses to these stories — all within a loving and supporting community of teachers and children. We invite children in pre-K through 5th grade, as well as 6th graders as special helpers this year.
At-Home, Family-Led “Church” School -- Anytime that Works for You!
At-home formation is family-centered and family-led. We’ll give you the same materials we’re using for in-person church school, as well as weekly emails with support like background information and questions to ask, and periodic paper mailings for your child. If in-person church attendance doesn’t work for your family this fall, or if your family wants to sit together through the entire church service, this is a great option!

Both options will use a curriculum called Storymakers, which creatively retells stories from the Old and New Testaments through “zines.” Zines are a combination guide, magazine, and workbook. Every child -- whether at home or at church, including visitors — receives their own beautifully illustrated zine for each unit. Regardless of which form of formation you choose, each week our children are invited to deepen their faith by immersing themselves in a story from the Bible, asking questions about what it means to them, and being creative.
Please register your children so we can create the right environments and get material into everyone’s hands. Please email Bryn with any questions, concerns, comments--really! We’re trying something all new again this year, and our on-going conversations will help us all to grow the best, safest, and more rewarding programs for our children.
