| Sunday School Information |
Spring Sunday School
Teachers and locations (on 2nd floor Parish Life Building):
- PreSchool - Kinder (3-5 yrs): Melinda Merwin -- Classroom E
- 1st - 2nd grade: Carol Smith -- Classroom A
- 3rd - 5th grade: Pam Greene -- Classroom F
- Jr./Sr. High: Father Todd -- Classroom C
News from Mrs. Smith to 1st - 2nd Grades: On January 6th, 1st and 2nd graders will review the Christmas story and discuss the Epiphany story about the wisemen's journey following the star, to worship the Christ child born to be the king of the Jews. We will also prepare a banner of the Christian calendar with symbols that relate to the different seasons of the year. Don't be surprised if we participate in an old Epiphany tradition during classtime, which should be fun for all! Looking forward to seeing everyone in the new year! Mrs Smith, Mrs.Care, Mrs. Hanovich, and Mrs. Adimora-N'gozi
News from Mrs. Greene to 3rd - 5th Grades: On January 6, we will pick up with where we left off before Advent - with Moses receiving the 10 Commandments - and compare the 10 Commandments to the Greatest Commandment from Christ.
We will progress further into the Old Testament: and draw from the books Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua. There are great stories to teach us important lessons. What do we learn from Balaam and the talking donkey- YES a talking Donkey! God blessed His people delivering them into the Promised Land. Can that relate to us today? We will end January by exploring one of the earliest Spy stories with Rahab at the center of this important message from God.

January 2, 3 & 4 - Kidventure Camp at Ascension

Family Soccer Saturdays!
Family Soccer Saturdays will be every Saturday at 11 AM until baseball/t-ball season starts at the beginning of February.
Here are a few rules:
1) Every child must be with a parent or guardian at all times. There are no coaches or designated parents to supervise your children.
2) All parents and guardians must help. This is not time to be a spectator.
3) Bring your own water and snacks.
4) If you have a soccer ball, bring it. There is no guarantee that there will be a ball for everyone.
5) Treat the equipment like it is yours. No hanging on the net or goals!
6) PLAY NICE OR GO HOME!
