Church School Update

All Hallows Eve Family Night

Thank you to Church School Steering Committee members Jessica Fraser and Mari Watanabe for helping with All Hallows Eve Family Night. The children had a great time making crafts and trick-or-treating in the classrooms with the Youth Group volunteers. Mark your calendars for upcoming Church School events including Family Outreach on Sunday, November 17, and Advent Family Lunch on Sunday, December 1, both immediately following Church School classes and services.

Here's what is happening in Church School this Sunday, November 3:

Preschool I & II

Preschool I & II students continue learning about the significance of water in the Bible through various stories over the next few weeks. This Sunday they learn about Jesus's first miracle at the Wedding at Cana. Students will turn water into "wine" and make a craft using watercolors.

PreKindergarten and Kindergarten

Kindergarten students learn about All Saints Sunday. They make props for the saints mentioned in the song, "I Sing a Song for the Saints of God" and sing the song during Children's Eucharist.

First, Second & Third Grades

First, second, and third grade students learn about All Saints Sunday and design a craft based on a saint of their choosing.

Fourth & Fifth Grades

Fourth and fifth grade students have their monthly outreach project. This Sunday they make Thanksgiving goodie bags for the children at Gateway 180. Fourth and fifth grade students and their parents also are invited to deliver the bags and serve breakfast at the shelter on the following Sunday, November 10, from 7 to 8 am. Participants should meet at Gateway 180, 1000 19th Street, at 6:45 am. Fourth and fifth grade volunteers will serve breakfast at 7 am and help clean up afterwards. Casual attire is recommended. Please RSVP to Mary Beth Tipton.

Family Outreach Event

Join us for sandwich making and socializing on Sunday, November 17, immediately following Church School services and classes. Parents and families will work together in the gym to make sandwiches for Gateway 180 and Peter and Paul Community Services. Pizza lunch will be served. Cost is $20 per family to help offset the cost of lunch and sandwich-making supplies. Please RSVP so we may get an accurate headcount for food and supplies. Families may pay online or at the door.

RSVP for Family Outreach

Join the Choristers

Does your child love to sing? Would he or she enjoy being part of the liturgy? If so, please consider joining the Choristers of CSMSG. All that is required is a love of music and a commitment to the schedule. Being a member of the Choristers is a great way to learn more about our faith and the Church through music. Join us for rehearsal on Wednesdays at 4:30 pm in the Choir Room or contact Nick Bideler for more information.

Please register your children for Church School as soon as possible. Registering allows us to plan appropriately for the classes, monitor allergies, and prepares us in case of an emergency. Please use the link below to register for the 2019-20 Church School year.

Church School Teachers Needed

Thank you to all who volunteered to serve as Church School teachers. We are still in need of more teachers to support our Church School classes. Teaching is a great way to share your faith with your child and get to know other families in your student's class. Teachers are asked to volunteer with a class once a month from 9 to 11 am. All curriculum guidelines and materials are provided. For more information or to volunteer, email Mary Beth Tipton.
