CHILDREN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES
PRESCHOOL
Shandon’s Crib Room (107b) and Toddler Room (107) provide an atmosphere of love, warmth and acceptance, helping these children to establish positive associations with the Church.
Twos (Room 104) are using the “Little Lambs” series by Faith Alive Resources to introduce young children to the Bible stories about God and his Son, Jesus.
Threes (Room 102) and Fours (Room 105) are using the “Wee Believe” curriculum developed by Presbyterians for Presbyterians. It builds foundations to help young children learn about God’s love for them. Stories will introduce children to the family that started it all: Abraham and Sarah to Joseph and his brothers (and sister).
YOUNGER ELEMENTARY
Kindergarteners (Room 114), First Graders (Room 109) and Second and Third Graders (Room 205) are using “We Believe.” The fall quarter will explore Old Testament relationships, such as Cain and Abel, David and Goliath, and Ruth and Naomi.
OLDER ELEMENTARY
Fourth and Fifth Graders (Room 207) are also using “We Believe” and will be learning about key relationships in the Old Testament.
