The start of Sunday School - this Sunday
Sunday School is an important time of Christian instruction, relationship building and fun! Parents are asked to have their children and young adults participate in this important ministry. For information about classes this year, please see below.
▪ Pre-school - Kindergarten: Mrs. Judy Stankewiz & Mrs. Naomi Morris (2nd floor, north wing) ▪ 2nd & 3rd Graders: Mrs. Ginny Leonetti (2nd flood, north wing) ▪ 5th & 6th Graders: Mr. Fred Rodgers (chapel/choir room) ▪ 7th - 9th Grades: Fr. Patterson (Rector's study) ▪ Adult Sunday School - today Chris Morris (who, along with Naomi, spent many years as a missionary in China) will begin what he describes as: "a multi-part series looking at 14 centuries of remarkable triumphs and instructive failures in Christian missions to China. This history can inform our thinking about our approaches today to both local and global mission." This class meets in Cranmer Hall. More information.
