Sunday School Teachers Needed
Many in the parish are pleased that our ministry to the children has been so blessed these past few years. Enrolment in Sunday School and Toddler Church continues to climb. But with this comes the need for new Sunday School teachers. It is especially important this year as we've lost several teachers who have gone away to concentrate on their academic studies. We run these teaching sessions on a rota, so if you volunteer, you teach for a month and then have several months to be in church. The more teachers we have the better it works. Please consider and pray about participating in this. Contact Karen Westhaver for more information.
Sunday School started September 23rd.
During the 10:30 Choral Holy Communion, there is a nursery available for young children at the back of the church, which is also the location of Toddlers' Church (Sunday School for toddlers). All children in grades Primary to six are invited to attend Sunday School in the hall each Sunday (September-June).
Toddlers’ Church: We have a Sunday preschool where the children will hear a Bible story, sing a simple song followed by an activity and open play. If you are interested in the programme or want to help us please contact Kieva Diamond or Karen Westhaver in the Toddler's Room, downstairs at the back of the church. It would not be a commitment every Sunday, but on a rotating schedule.
Saint George's supports a lively Sunday School for children aged 5-12. The parish is dedicated to the Christian education of its youth and has written and developed a challenging and entertaining curriculum based on the Book of Common Prayer and its lectionary. The Saint George's Christian Education Curriculum is published by Saint Peter Publications in Charlottetown, P.E.I. (See St George's Curriculum for more information).
The Sunday School meets each week during the 10.30 Choral Communion. The Rector and people of Saint George's believe that children are an important part of the parish; it is not unusual to see the children in procession with the choir and clergy singing the Litany, sitting on the chancel steps for the children's talk, or standing by the font during a baptism. The children are present from the beginning of the service until the sermon; teachers and children return to the church to join the congregation at the altar rail to either receive the sacrament or a blessing and to participate in the post-Communion prayers and hymns. Sunday School teachers are volunteers from the parish who provide a lesson, craft, activity and snack for the children. The Sunday School is active from September until June.
During the 10:30 am service, meet us at the back door (to the right of the pulpit), at the end of the Creed. Come along and let's discover together in Sunday School. We will return to the church to receive a blessing at the communion rail with the rest of the congregation (class time is about 40 minutes).
The last Sunday School day before the summer break will be June 17, featuring amusements and snacks in the Sunday School Room, and the Cherub Choir will show off their amazing vocal techniques with a song or two from their growing repertoire.
Chi Rho Youth Group: From 9:45-10:25 am on Sundays, there is a program for young people, age 12 and up. 2012-2013, the class upon the foundation of the previous year's confirmation class and included elements of teaching and discussion. This program offers a way for us to support the youth in the parish as they mature and grow in their spirituality.
Visitors are most welcome.
