Sept. 17 - Sunday School & Youth Program Begins!

Seeking:  Sunday School Storytellers 
(aka Teachers).  We are looking for Sunday School teachers---storytellers and anyone who has gifts to share with our youngest parishioners, from PreK through Fifth Grade.  Our  Living the Good News  curriculum makes it easy to explore with elementary students the very same Gospel reading you hear on Sunday morning.  Our  Godly Play  curriculum guides Bible storytelling for our PreK/K learners.  Together, teachers and students figure out ways to live the Good News throughout the coming week.  If you would like to make a difference in the lives of our children, please reach out to Ann Enkiri at  [email protected] .
