Sunday School starts for the new year on Sunday, August 18th.
The goal of our Orthodox Christian Sunday School is to partner with our families in building a strong foundation of faith for the children. We hope to foster a classroom setting where children are personally known, loved and supported in their growth.
There are classes for Pre-K as well as K and Grades 1st through 12th.
Please register your children for Sunday School.
2nd Sunday of each month: Sunday Funday treat!
Church School Policies:
TIME: Church School will commence after Communion. The Church School Staff and children will receive Holy Communion first. Church School Teachers and students meet outside the church to go together to their classrooms in the ELC. Church school students will be dismissed at 12:10 PM—please try not to interrupt the class earlier. Parents of preK-3rd graders are asked to pick up children from their classroom in the ELC. Older children will dismiss to Coffee Hour. IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE ENTIRE FAMILY BE IN CHURCH AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DIVINE LITURGY AT 10:00 a.m.
ATTENDANCE: Regular and faithful attendance is crucial to the success of our Church School Program. Of course, attendance depends on parental commitment.
Meet our teachers:
Three and Four year old’s: Diakonissa Karen Koloniotis, Presbytera Roxanne Louh, and Elisha Mustoe
Kindergarten – 1st : Tracey Bilanin and Michelle Brent
2nd – 3rd Grades : Robin Dewey, Angela Amorgianos, and Bethany Dewey
4th – 5th Grades : Lewis Preddy and Pam Toundas
6th – 7th Grades : Staci Spanos Gibsonl
8th – 9th Grades : Stratis Lagoutaris, Phil Amorgianos, and Matt Vesta
10th – 12th Grades : David Wainer and Taylor Walker
PreK-Grade 7: Our classes are divided into 2-year groupings, with age-appropriate scripture lessons consistent for all classes. We believe that the primary teaching opportunities for faith are found in the conversation and prayers at home and in the experience of the Liturgy and sacraments of the Church. Our Sunday School program seeks to enrich these through well-planned Bible lessons, crafts, interactive teaching and friendship-affirming fun.
8th and 9th Grade: This class will be centered on catechism and Church history in a 2-year format. The lessons will seek to provide important grounding in the Orthodox world-view and “phronema”. It is hoped that this class will bridge from factual explanations of sacraments, theology, dogmatic, and liturgics, to the joy of lived experience in the fulness of faith. “We have seen the true light, we have found the true faith, worshipping the undivided trinity!”
10th , 11th and 12th Grade: The teen class will concentrate on “where the rubber meets the road”—faith meets real world questions and decisions. Our view is toward learning how to apply scripture and the wisdom of the Church to decision making as well as to interpreting and relating to current events. The class’s main emphasis will be on helping students prepare for their next steps after graduating from high school.
REMEMBER: Our teachers are all volunteers who take personal time from busy schedules in order to prepare and teach our children each week. Please take time to speak with them and express your appreciation…we are in this together, for the children!
