The Children's Chapel Crucifer will lead the children and teachers from the church before the procession begins.

Pre-Kindergarten-Ages 2 to Pre-K will meet in the back nursery in the undercroft, downstairs below the Chapel. For children who will not be in the Christian Formation class, Deidre and Joe Williamson will be in the Nursery from before Church until after Sunday School dismisses.

The curriculum plan for Sunday School for children from nursery through grade 5 will be a stimulating enrichment to the Bible story and worship that our children experience in Children's Chapel. Each class will follow an age appropriate curriculum. Our middle school group will gather with the confirmation class. For confirmation this year we will use a new curriculum, I will, with God's help. The high school class will use The Episcopal Handbook as an aid to discussion. We will publish the Christian Education calendar monthly, or you may look for it on our website.

Thanks to our teachers, those returning and those who are new: Skip Archer, Susan Clinton, Mary Cook, Thad Hendrix, Carolyn Jeffers, Mary Carol Ladd, Alison Mitchell, Lucy Moore, Katy Patton, and Barry Weeks. We could use more help, if you would like to join a team.  Sign up here!
