This Week in Church School
Keeping you informed of the latest news and activities from
Church School at the Church of St. Michael and St. George
Bring Mite Boxes to Chapel
Hopefully your child's donation box is filled with the money he or she collected during Lent. Bring the box to Children's Eucharist in St. George's Chapel on Sunday, April 28, to donate the money to Operation Backpack, a program that addresses childhood hunger in St. Louis and is run by Operation Food Search in St. Louis.

In addition to collecting money for Operation Backpack, the Church School Steering Committee asked families to donate individual and full-size boxes of low-sugar cereal for the food pantry at Trinity Episcopal Church. Please bring your boxes to the Great Hall and help us build a "cereal tower."
Church School Update
Here's what is happening in Church School this Sunday, April 28, and in the weeks ahead :

Preschool through Third Grade
He is risen! Students learn about the season of Easter, what it is, and how long it lasts. Last Sunday we celebrated Jesus's resurrection. This Sunday students learn the story of Doubting Thomas. Who was Thomas and what did he doubt?

Fourth and Fifth Grades
Jesus was with his followers in Jerusalem for 40 days after his resurrection. Fourth and fifth grade students learn about Jesus's ascension to heaven. Students will make Heaven's Cloud for their snack.

Moving Up Day
Next Sunday, May 5, is Moving Up Day for students in third and fifth grades. Third grade students will join the fourth and fifth grade class for their monthly outreach project. Fifth grade students will join the middle school students in the gym for their Sunday program. Moving Up Day allows students to learn about opportunities for participation in Church School and Youth Ministry at CSMSG. Please encourage your child to attend.
Parent Link Seminar April 29
Do you ever feel, when it comes to parenting, that you spend most of your time at the surface? As our kids, teenagers, and young adults navigate all of the issues that come their way, it's sometimes hard to dig down and get to the crux of what's really happening in their lives. As parents, we want to help our children of all ages focus on the important aspects of life, deepen their faith, and live as Christians in a secular world.

Join Chris Sasser, our Parent Link consultant from Ministry Architects, for a Real Parenting Seminar on Monday, April 29, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at the Church of St. Michael and St. George. Chris will discuss ways we might do some real, often messy, parenting to facilitate deeper conversations with our kids, in order to help them focus on growing in their faith.  RSVP HERE

Does Your Child Have Allergies?
Food is an important part of our Church School curriculum. Please let us know if your child has any food allergies. Children in preschool through first grade made name tags with parent contact information. You may write your child's allergies on his or her name tag so all teachers and high school assistants may readily see this information. Additionally, we will include this information in the class buckets. Please email Jane Fisher with information about your chid's food allergies.
