Preschool I and II
Preschool students continue to learn about the significance of water in the Bible through various stories. Over the past few weeks, students learned about Jesus turning water into wine and walking on water. This Sunday they learn about Jesus calming the sea and make a sailor's hat.
PreKindergarten
The past few Sundays, PreKindergarten students learned about various stories from the Bible, including the Wedding at Cana, Noah's Ark, and Moses parting the Red Sea. What do all of these stories have in common? How is water used in church? PreKindergarten students will perform a "baptism" using a doll, a bowl of water, and a shell.
Kindergarten
Kindergarten students learn about vestments, the garments worn by the people on the altar during a church service. What is a chasuble? An alb? A stole? A cassock? Who wears these garments?
First Grade
First grade students read the Bible story Jonah and the Whale and make a glitter whale page for their Bible binders.
Second Grade
Second grade students continue learning about the Old Testament with the story of David and Goliath and make another ornament for their Jesse Tree wreaths. Students make an edible slingshot for snack.
Third Grade
Third grade students continue learning about the New Testament, specifically the section of the Book of Matthew called the Beatitudes. How do we look for the good in a bad situation?
Fourth and Fifth Grades
Fourth and fifth grade students learn about the story of Naaman, who was a commander of the army of the King of Syria but also was a leper. A servant girl tells him about a prophet who can heal him. What happens to Naaman?
