Sunday School News
 
 

A new year and a few changes. We are meeting in the choir vestry temporarily whilst the Parish Hall is being redecorated and are grateful to Tim and the choir for their hospitality. It is good to be able to be present at the beginning of worship as well as at the end.

 

After ten years of using one scheme of work we are starting 2009 with a new one “Roots” (www.rootsontheweb.com). This, like the previous course, follows the lectionary readings we use in church each Sunday, but offers more variety and new ideas.

 

Offers of adult help with the group would be most welcome, please see the vicar or Helen if you feel you could be involved. As the sole adult I can accept only a couple more children, but without help we cannot expand,

We are a very friendly and informal group and I learn from the children most weeks as well.
 
 
 
 

What is “Sunday School”? It is a group for children aged 3 to 11 who want to learn about God’s love. We follow the stories and readings from the Bible that the adults in church hear read out each week and use craft or drama to help bring these stories to life.

 

The aim is to provide children with a time and space in which they can explore Christianity and know that they are loved by God .

 

We have enjoyed seeing some new faces at Sunday School this term, both children’s and adult’s. We have a new rota of adult helpers and it was great to have Tom Spires on 11 October acting the part of the rich young man in the Gospel reading so enthusiastically! If you are reading this article and would be interested in helping once a term (three times a year) please speak to me for more details.

 

If you have a child, grandchild, or other relative you would like to attend, aged 3 to 11, then either contact me for further information (tel 745785) or bring them along on Sunday at 9.25 a.m. in the Parish Hall, Church Lane. We go across to church about 10.15 to join the rest of the congregation and for the adults to receive the Eucharist and the children a blessing. The service finishes about 10.45, when coffee is served in the Parish Hall.

 

Please note that November 8th is Remembrance Sunday this year and there will be no Sunday School. Nor on December 27th or January 3rd, resuming on January 10th.
