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
Church School Update
Register for Church School
Online registration for Church School is now open. So that we may have up-to-date contact information in the event of an emergency, all students attending Church School must be registered. Please use the link below to register for the 2019-20 Church School Year.

This year we are asking all parents to complete a nametag as part of check-in when dropping their children off in a classroom or St. George's Chapel. Upon entering either the classroom or chapel, please help your child complete one of the nametags provided with his or her name and your cell phone number as an emergency contact. This is another way for us to be prepared in the event of an emergency.

Summer Sundays
During the summer, Church School students are welcome to attend Summer Sunday School in one of the lower-level classrooms. Students will participate in lectionary-based activities and enjoy a snack. Participants will join their parents in the church during the time of the Peace. The summer schedule continues through August 25.

Upcoming Events

  • Grandparents Sunday is September 15
