Christian Education  

Meets 9 -10 a.m. on Sunday Mornings in the Mission Center for all children in 3rd grade through High School. 

Confirmation: Those who wish to be confirmed on April 16th need to attend Sunday School. Contact Corky Foltz at cfoltz@goodshepherdkingwood.org

Children in 2nd grade and under should attend our 9:15 family service, where they will hear teaching geared towards their age group rather than a regular sermon, and they will have special activities and additional learning at the end of the service.

Elementary Communion: Any child who is baptized is encouraged to receive communion at any of our services. “First Communion” is not required. We do celebrate and recognize children who have begun to understand the basic ideas about the Eucharist on the Sunday after Easter Sunday (April 27, 2025) with a special processon and having these children come up first for communion. There are special activites for children in 1st grade or older who have not been celebrated in this way. This year these include:

  • March 30th - Learn about celebratory meals and the Passover

  • April 6th - Come take a tour of the sacristy at 2:30 and then make a special plate at Mudpie at 3:30pm.

 

“Let the children come to me, and do not stop them, for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.” - Jesus
