PreK - 2nd Grade Wonderful Welcome
Begin in the worship service. In class, Julia Caldarola and the children will talk about the gift of protection, session 10 of the Wonderful Welcome curriculum. The lesson focuses on the interdependent web of life and introduces the intangible gift of protection - protection of the environment and all life that shares it. Learning to respect and appreciate the Earth, our home, is one of the cornerstones of our faith. Parents can view the curriculum by clicking here. Liz Nilsen-Baumwoll is the Helping Hand.
3rd - 7th Grade Love and Justice
Begin in the worship service. In class, children will talk about how we can take care of ourselves and engage in role plays about standing up for others. While we accept all people, we do not accept all behavior and sometimes we need to stand up for ourselves and others. Rita Rigano is leading and Craig Butler is the Helping Hand.

th - 9th Grade Coming of Age
