Formation for Young Children:
Sundays, September– May
9:00 am |
|
The
religious formation program we employ for young children is The
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. The Atrium is a specially prepared
environment that seeks to assist the child's developing religious
life. Specially designed materials that depict scripture and liturgy
are available for the children to work with weekly. The Atrium
time is led by the Director of Children's Ministries who has been
trained as a catechist, and other adults who are committed to
working with the children on an ongoing basis.
Children
join parents at the Peace for Eucharist and then return to the
Atria during Church School hour.

Church School Curriculum:
Programs for children and young people use scripture and liturgy
to allow for a growing understanding of our Episcopal faith and
practice. Drama, music, field trips, and age-appropriate projects
and activities, which serve to extend the learning process, are
incorporated throughout the year. Episcopal curricula are often
supplemented using a variety of resources since we often customize
the year to fit the interests of both teacher and students. At all
levels we incorporate outreach activities appropriate to age and
skill level.

For
sixth, seventh, and eighth graders we continue the faith journey
using the themes “Call, Response and Covenant”. We draw
from many different curricula, always including the Bible and Book
of Common Prayer, as we examine different ways to respond to God's
call. Confirmation preparation is offered starting in eighth grade.
Members in senior high participate in a forum and discussion on
varied topics.
