Updated Sunday School Model!
Sunday School is going to look a little different this year and we need your help! Each week will be treated like a mini VBS - because who doesn't love VBS! We will interact with a Bible Story to really engage and learn with all of our senses. We'll start with music, the Bible story and then break into different rotations. One week these could be art and cooking or science and games - the options are endless!
In order for this to be successful - we need people to lead these rotations. If you love art projects, sign up for an art rotations or all of them! Or if you love science, sign up for those. It's a commitment, but a commitment on your terms and schedules. This is a way to fulfill your promises that you made while each of these little ones were baptized.
To see the dates and the topics, we have a sign up in the narthex. If you'd like more information, either call the office or send Jenny an email.
There are supplies that we need for the year as well - an Amazon wish list has been created! https://a.co/1OA0pMO
If you’re looking for another way to volunteer, we need some help going our supplies in the basement. If you’re interested in helping for a few hours, please let Jenny know. Thank you!
