Children

Sunday School is going well and the children enjoy hearing a brief children’s sermon by Pastor Dave before heading off to their individual classrooms where our wonderful teaching staff continue to share their faith with the children. Again, thanks to all of the teachers and helpers who are volunteering their time. Your dedication is much appreciated!
On October 20th, 5 third graders received their Bibles and 5 first graders received their Catechisms. Please help your child to use these important books as they continue to learn about the teachings of Jesus in Sunday School.
Harvest Sunday has resumed on the first Sunday of each month and we ask the rest of the congregation to share their non-perishable food to help those less fortunate than us. The Sunday School students challenge those worshiping on each Harvest Sunday to a competition to see who can donate the biggest pile of food! Let the games begin!
Thanksgiving is fast approaching so that means Advent is right around the corner. The children will be treated to a special Advent lesson on November 10th by Cyndi Clark after which they will receive this year’s take-home Advent activity.
November also means the annual Christmas pageant is on the near horizon. It will take place during the 10 AM service on December 15th. We will begin rehearsing songs in mid-November so please try to have your children attend Sunday School. Also, please let me know by November 17th as to whether your child wants a speaking part. The older children get first dibs at the speaking parts but everyone in Sunday School is welcome and encouraged to participate in some role in the pageant.
Please let me know if you are available to help with the pageant. We are very grateful for whatever time you can give. Let’s make this a great pageant full of joy and excitement as we anticipate the birth of Jesus!
We welcome your questions, suggestions, and concerns so please reach out to me at 914-715-9546 or via e-mail. And we are always eager for even more teachers and helpers to join us in sharing our faith with the children. It is so rewarding and you always get back more than you give.
Have a very Happy Thanksgiving and we look forward to seeing all the children each week in Sunday School!
God Bless,
Sue Epting, Sunday School Coordinator
