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
Palm Sunday Schedule
This Sunday, April 14, is Palm Sunday. Donatello the Donkey will lead the congregation into the 9:15 am service. Donatello enjoys treats and children are welcome to bring carrots to feed him. There are no Church School programs on Palm Sunday. All attendees should gather outside the church. Since this is a lengthy but meaningful service, coloring pages and crayons will be available for children at the entrances to the church.

Lenten Giving Project

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.
