the basics of the Christian faith in the Episcopal tradition.
a strong Bible-based curriculum.
a joyous opportunity for the parish to fulfill our responsibilities of the vow made at each baptism to do all in our power to support our children and youth in their life in Christ Jesus.

Prayer Pots
What an exciting time we're having in Sunday School! The children, from middle school down to the 3-year-olds, are eagerly participating in making prayer pots to sell at our Cookie and Craft Sale on December 10th 2011. The proceeds will go towards purchasing more materials for our Godly Play Sunday School program. Each child made 2 pots and they were all so wonderfully decorated. A HUGE thank you to Sarah Houde for the materials and her guidance in this super fun craft. All the kids are truly enjoying themselves and we could not have done it without her. A big thank you to Elisabeth Rogerson, Julie Coughlan, and Tommy Chen as well for helping the kids out as we get our hands all clayed up!
Here’s a sneak peek but the finished products will be even more beautiful once Sarah has glazed and fired the pots! We hope you’ll come out on December 10 to not only buy some cookies but to also check out our children’s beautiful clay creations!
