Christian Education Opportunities

 

Adult Education

        Adult Christian Education at Christ Church offers two classes weekly. Beginning September 9, sessions will meet on Sunday mornings from 9:15 to 10:00 AM, between the two services in the Heritage Room. The basic format is study of the Scripture texts of the day – Old Testament and New Testament, Psalm and Gospel – though we also have occasional single special sessions on topics of other sorts.  On Wednesday evenings, an adult education class meets for various studies at 6:00 pm for a light supper and class begins at 6:30 to 8:00 pm.

Sunday School

        We offer Sunday School programming for children from 3 year olds through Sixth Grade. Programming begins in September and runs from 9:20a.m. to 10:20 a.m. in the second floor of Vinter Hall. The three year old through second grade will meet every Sunday to learn God’s Word using the Godly Play curriculum by Jerome Barryman. We have added a dozen new stories to the curriculum. The third to sixth grades will meet every Sunday to learn God’s Word using the Godly Play curriculum (new stories) and the lectionary-based curriculum Living the Good News. For the Worship and Celebration portion of this ministry we have four dates for the children to worship in song during the 10:30 a.m. service. There will be weekly practice to help the children sing confidently and to enjoy the worship participation.

Youth Group

        The Youth Group at Christ Church is involved in a variety of educational, service, and fellowship activities. We welcome all middle and high school-age youth and generally meet on Wednesday nights at 6:00PM. We have been using the J2A (Journey to Adulthood) and Rite 13 curriculums. The J2A and Rite 13 programs are produced by Leader Resources, an ecumenical Christian educational resource center.  We start by sharing a meal after which we do a variety of activities such as movies, games, study and discussion. We also meet for social events where the youth are encourage to bring friends or family. The annual Shrove Tuesday pancake supper, the Lenten Tenebrae service, the CROP walk and volunteering at WAFER are some of the service ministries the youth have been involved with.
