Sunday School

Sunday School at Aldersgate

More on Adult Christian Education, Tuesdays at 6:30 pm

Confirmation '10-'11 Schedule (proposed) here

Sunday School is at 10:30 am Sundays, and begins when families gather together in the worship service.
Children are invited to sit with their family for the opening music, prayer time, and Children's Moment, and then are dismissed to Sunday School.

The children's program will have music, games and a classroom component.

Music: on the 1st Sunday of each month, all children who desire to participate will be dismissed from the sanctuary to music time. Song leaders will teach new songs and revisit the old favorites. One song will be prepared to be presented in the worship service the following week.

The 2nd Sunday of each month during the worship service the children will sing the song prepared the week before. They will then be dismissed to play games, led by older youth.

The 3rd, 4th, (and 5th) Sundays, children will be dismissed from worship to their classrooms for traditional Christian Education.

Classes: children will meet in two classrooms, one Early and one Later Elementary. The curriculum will cover similar themes in each classroom each Sunday, geared toward each age level. For the youngest children, a staffed nursery will be available during classtime.
