Children’s Christian Education (Age 3-7th Grade)

Rooms 116, 119, 121, 124, and 127

Sunday School begins September 12^th and is offered from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. during the school year.  With the Episcopal Church Curriculum, students will experience stories from the Bible interactively through crafts and projects as well as age-appropriate discussions.  Our curriculum will also encourage your child to become familiar with the Book of Common Prayer and Episcopal liturgy.

 All children’s classes are taught by instructors who have taken the three-hour Safeguarding God’s Children training.

Confirmation Classes (8th and 9th Grade)

Rooms 208 and 215

 This is a two-year program of faith development providing the students with a foundation upon which to make their decision about Confirmation.  The program begins in the eighth grade and is held on Sunday mornings at 9:00 a.m.  Please contact the Christian Education Director to sign your child up for this program.

High School Stewardship Program (10th - 12th Grade)

We invite our teens to become involved on Sunday mornings by serving as an assistant in one of the younger Sunday School classes.  Please contact the Christian Education Director for more information.  Space is limited, so sign up soon!  

Caregiving

Room 109

Caregiving is offered regularly on Sundays from 7:45 a.m. to the conclusion of the 10:15 service.  The Nursery will also be open during other services and activities on an as needed basis.  Our Nursery is staffed with experienced, attentive adults who know and care for each child.  Childcare in the Nursery during Sunday School hours (9-10:00 a.m.) will be available to infants through age 2.  Infants through 4 years of age are welcome in the Nursery during the services.  For older children, we recommend the New Light Worship Service, a family-friendly experience in the Great Hall each Sunday at 10:15 a.m.

 Volunteers always needed!   If you would like to help with children’s Christian Education, please contact Jessica Dupree at jessicadupree@goodshepherdkingwood.org
