Church School Update

Here's what is happening in Church School this Sunday, November 10:

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. Last Sunday they learned about Jesus's first miracle at the Wedding at Cana and turned water into "wine." This Sunday they learn about Jesus walking on water.

PreKindergarten and Kindergarten

PreKindergarten and Kindergarten students learn about Sanctus, a song we sing during the Eucharist. Ask your child to show you the motions that go with the song.

First, Second & Third Grades

First, second, and third grade students learn about the New Testament. This week they begin learning about the section of Matthew called the Beatitudes. What do the Beatitudes say about the kingdom of heaven?

Fourth & Fifth Grades

Fourth and fifth grade students continue their monthly outreach project. Last Sunday they made Thanksgiving goodie bags for the children at Gateway 180. This Sunday, fourth and fifth grade students and their parents are invited to deliver the bags and serve breakfast at the shelter 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.

Back at CSMSG following their visit to the shelter, fourth and fifth grade students learn about the story of Ruth and the importance of friendship.

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.

Enjoy a cup of coffee and get to know other parents while the young children play. The next Thursday morning playgroup is November 21.

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.
