Church of Our Saviour

On the first Friday of February an enthusiastic Circle formed around the ministry of the Sunday School at COS.  Our new Sunday School Coordinator, Alyssa Trometter, was on hand to lead the discussion of hopes and concerns for the program. The desire to retain the Godly Play story telling was brought up, as well as finding programming for older children as they outgrow Godly Play. There was also discussion about engaging children in a variety of learning activities such as conversation, art, puzzles, and play-acting.

As a result of this meeting, future First Friday “Circles of Ministry” will be devoted to Sunday School. This will provide the opportunity for those who will be teaching in the coming month to see lesson plans in advance. We will talk about the scripture or Bible story that will be part of the lessons.  Lily will be there to help us reflect theologically on the experience of working with children. The Circle will always be forming and reforming as various members in turn, take their part in the religious education of our children. Chances are we’ll learn a lot about our own faith in the process!  And there is always the pizza…
