SUNDAY SCHOOL

  • Preschool - Grade 6
  • Sunday morning @ 10:40 a.m.

Faith experienced at an early age is the foundation for all other growth.  The Good News we share with our children has the power to transform lives and revitalize communities.  So, let's prepare the ground for a new tomorrow, send down roots anchored in love.  Let's sow in them seeds of mercy and plant them by the river of life.  

Let's teach our kids to SHINE in this world!


The SHINE curriculum takes your child through important themes and Bible characters.

Preschool children will come home with a leaflet each week sharing the Bible story from the morning and activities to go along with it.

Each student (Kindergarten through Grade 6) will receive a book "Great Big Love: God's Story for You & Me" that offers the Bible story from the weekly lessons.  They are welcome to use the books at home and are encouraged to bring the book to each Sunday School session.

SHALOM READERs

Jesus modeled and taught shalom, often by telling stories.  Stories still speak, teach, and nurture.  Reading books that show characters choosing creative and peaceful solutions can help your children choose Jesus' Way of Peace in their own lives here and now.
