Children and Youth Sunday School Begins August 24!

June 142 We return to our regular schedule and begin Christian education and formation for youth and children on August 24th.  Every child and teen needs to turn in a registration form (top link on the far right of this page).  We have a couple of needs:

  1. Help preparing/moving classrooms in the Cathedral Clark Center and the Annex Youth Center.  A few hours of your time this summer would help alot!
  2. Fresh teaching volunteers.  Many of our teachers have boldly served for many years and are ready for new ministries.  Please step up to the plate and offer your time and talent.
  3. Make sure we have your information(all children and their birthdates) in our church database: that helps us keep in touch.  If you haven't received any postcards from me this summer, or you do not get the newsletter, then you are probably not in our database.  
  4. Invite a friend to church. 

Children's classes this year will be divided by age; if your child has a birthday in the middle of the year you are free to choose to stay or move up.  Siblings are welcome to stay together, and other flexibility is available if you check with the teachers. 

3-5 year olds: Godly Play in Cathedral Clark Center Blue

6-8 year olds: Godly Play in Cathedral Clark Center Yellow

9 -10+ year olds: Mustard Seed in Cathedral Clark Center Green

Youth classes are moving across the street to the new youth center upstairs at the Annex.  Our youth program works in generations that stick together.  We will also offer monthly game and movie nights for all youth.  Some of the following plan is subject to change. 

6-7th graders: New Rite 13 Annex Youth Center Green 

8-9th graders: New J2A (Wizdomick) Annex Youth Center Pumpkin

10th+ :BASE: Confirmation/Reaffirmation Annex Youth Center Purple

If you haven't been playing along with us, your teen is always welcome to begin.  However the BASE class is the only path towards confirmation for Sr Hi teens who are 16 or older.  We suggest that you make BASE a priority for any 16+ teen, and let them choose whether or not to be confirmed before the Bishop visits in the spring.  All youth classes need strong attendance and expect 60% attendance at classes and fund raisers to lead to participation in the Urban Adventure (J2A) and/or Mission Trip (all youth eligible) next summer.
