The new Sunday School year kicked off on September 8, 2024 with our Rally Day celebration and we are off to a great start! It’s wonderful to see so many smiling faces every Sunday and we are thankful to parents/grandparents for bringing our young folks to learn about Jesus and his teachings. Many thanks to all the teachers and helpers who volunteer their time as it is appreciated by all! Harvest Sunday continues to be held on the first Sunday of each month and we invite all members of the congregation to donate to this effort. St. Mary’s Food Pantry is always grateful for the generosity of St. Andrew’s members so let’s keep helping those less fortunate. Harvest Sundays will launch on Sunday, October 6th so let’s try to fill up the pantry closet! The annual Bible and Catechism dedication will take place on Sunday, October 20th at the beginning of the 10 a.m. worship service. Children in third grade will receive their Bibles and children in first grade will receive their Catechisms. These important books lay the groundwork for Christian education and are used throughout Sunday School and Confirmation classes. Please attend worship that day to celebrate with the kids. Autumn just started but it’s already time to look ahead to the annual Sunday School Christmas pageant. We will be choosing a pageant and beginning rehearsals in mid-November so stay tuned for more information and please let me know if you would like to volunteer to help. If you have not yet done so, please complete the Contact Info form and return to me via e-mail at [email protected] or drop it off in the office when you attend church. And please let me know if you are aware of any children who might want to enroll (ages 3 years through 6th grade). We are always looking for more volunteers to help with Sunday School so please reach out to me via e-mail or cell phone at 914-715-9546. You will get back so much more than you put into this important ministry! God Bless, Sue Epting, Sunday School Coordinator |
