Children

Spring has arrived and Sunday School continues to be in full swing as the school year begins to wind down over the next few months.  We are so happy to see all the bright and shining faces of our young children each week as they are the future of St. Andrew’s!  April will be a very busy month with lots of special events so we hope everyone will attend.

Your child should have received his/her Lenten box by now and we would like to collect them by Sunday, April 12^th.  The children will then decide to whom they would like to donate the money.  For the past several years, we have bought animals through the ELCA catalog.

Sunday School will not be in session on Easter, April 5^th so please attend worship as a family. 

Harvest Sunday will next take place on April 12^th and we hope to help fill the shelves at St. Mary’s Food Pantry with your donations.

Pastor Dave will be conducting a class for the First Communion children on Sunday, April 12^th immediately following the 10 a.m. worship service.  First Communion will take place on Sunday, April 26^th for those children in second grade and older if they have not yet received this Sacrament.

On Sunday, April 19^th, we will be celebrating the 70^th Anniversary of St. Andrew’s with Bishop Foster worshiping with us during the 10 a.m. service.  There will not be an early service that day.  We hope to have the Sunday School children sing a special song and the older children (3^rd through 6^th grades) will remain in church for the entire service. Immediately following worship, everyone will be treated to a delicious brunch so please try to attend.

Looking ahead to May, we will celebrate Harvest Sunday on May 3^rd and we will do our annual Mother’s Day flower planting on May 10^th.

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.

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

God Bless,

Sue Epting, Sunday School Coordinator
