Sunday School Clean-Up Scheduled

Wednesdays April 22 & 29 from 10 to 12 noon

For the past couple of years, we have been using a Christian formation program called Rotation. Our room was modified to take on the theme of this program.  This past month, we received many materials for Level I (3–6-year-old child) Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program from St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Foley. This level focuses on the relationship with the child and the Good Shepherd.  It covers prayer, nomenclatures for life in the church, Biblical geography, messianic prophecies, infancy narratives, kingdom parables, the Good Shepherd, the Paschal Mystery, Baptism, Eucharist, Celebrations, practical life, care of the environment, grace and courtesy, and self-care. This is a wide range of scope and sequence and meets the child where they are.  To begin setting up our space, we invite you to be a part of our clean-up, room change, and working in the space. Our space will become welcoming and holy as we move to this Episcopal-based material and invite the children into a space created specifically for them, their size, and their learning level. 

 

Come and be a part of making this a sacred space for our children, and to see the new materials and how they will be used!  Please contact the Cathedral office to let us know you are coming to help.
