Children

Sunday School continues to move along well and the children have been learning the Gospel along with the rest of the congregation as the weekly lessons are the same as those that form the basis of Pastor Dave’s sermons.

The Lenten boxes have been distributed and are due back on April 14th. At that time the children, along with their teachers, will decide to whom the money should be donated. I suspect that we will be buying some more animals (cows, chickens, sheep, goats, etc.) since they get a kick out of choosing gifts from the ELCA catalog!

Harvest Sunday will next take place on March 3rd and we hope the entire congregation as well as the Sunday School students will help to fill the shelves at St. Mary’s Food Pantry with their donations.

Preparations are in full swing for the Bishop’s visit on March 10th as we celebrate the 15th anniversary of Pastor Dave’s ordination. The children will be singing a song early in the service. The two older classes will remain in church for the entire service and the younger children will return to their classrooms following the opening and kids’ sermon. We hope to see everyone attend as we celebrate both Pastor Dave and St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church. A special luncheon will follow the service.

Please remember to set your clocks ahead before going to bed on Saturday, March 9th or you will be an hour late for worship and Sunday School! You don’t want to miss this exciting day!

Along with spring, March also brings Holy Week and Easter Sunday! We will be receiving palms and doing a special Easter craft on Palm Sunday, March 24th but Sunday School will not be held on Easter, March 31st. Please attend church as a family that day as we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus.

Spring not only brings the flowers and warmer weather but many sports programs kick off. We understand that many children are involved in various sports, but we hope that they will attend Sunday School when possible.

As always, we welcome anyone who would like to teach or help with Sunday School, do a special lesson or craft with the children, or assist in any way. Please reach out to me with any questions at [email protected] or via cell at 914-715-9546.

We look forward to seeing everyone in Sunday School each week!

God Bless,

Sue Epting, Sunday School Coordinator
