| It’s hard to believe that another year of Sunday School is coming to an end! We have welcomed several new children to our classes and everyone is enjoying learning about Jesus and his teachings. It’s been a wonderful year! Happy Father’s Day to all the men who are fathers, grandfathers, uncles, godfathers, and anyone else who plays such an important role in the lives of our children! The last Harvest Sunday of the school year will next take place on June 1st, and we hope the entire congregation as well as the Sunday School students will help to contribute to this worthy effort. Let’s try this challenge again and see who can bring in the most food to share with those less fortunate – Sunday School students or adult members of the congregation! The children are working on their memory work and we look forward to Awards Sunday on June 22nd along with a popsicle party following the 10 a.m. service. We hope the pews will be full as we honor the children, their teachers and helpers, and the many others who have helped to make this year a success! Please remember to attend and you will also get to enjoy some treats, too! The children collected $209.87 in their Lenten boxes this spring and the Church Council voted to add funds to bring the total donation to $500. The children will be working with the Sunday School staff to choose what to purchase through the ELCA catalog. Picking the cute little animals to send to needy families throughout the world is always a fun project! Thank you to all the parents who let the kids rob them of their pocket change again this year! On behalf of St. Andrew’s, thank you to all who have given so much of your time throughout the year to help the children to grow in their faith. Without the volunteers and the parents who faithfully bring the children each week, Sunday School would not be a success. Thank you so very much! Sunday school resumes on Rally Day which is September 14, 2025 so if you have a child who will be 3 years old in September, please contact me so we can enroll him/her in Sunday School for next year. 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 epting.susan@gmail.com or via cell at 914-715-9546. Have a great summer and we look forward to seeing everyone in church each week! God Bless, Sue Epting, Sunday School Coordinator |
