"We were gentle among you, like a nurse tenderly caring for her own children. So deeply do we care for you that we are determined to share with not only the gospel of God, but also our own selves, because you have become very dear to us." - 1st Thessalonians 2:7-8 Children are loved and valued at Bethesda, and we strive to provide fertile ground for our children to grow spiritually, physically, mentally, and socially. Every Sunday from September through May, Bethesda's Sunday School offers a variety of regular classes and activities for children (pre-school through 5th grade). Our dedicated staff and volunteers work together to lead our children through age-appropriate lessons, crafts, and interactive discussions as we follow Living the Good News, a lectionary-based curriculum. As children and their parents have heard the same Readings and Gospel on each Sunday, it affords some discussion in the home. The best Church School program is successful when it is supported by involved and dedicated parents and enthusiastic adults of the parish. Once a month we have a presentation given for the children by a Godly Play trained storyteller. Godly Play is an imaginative method for presenting scripture stories to children with manipulative resources. Children's Sunday School Classes and Curriculum
Children's Sunday School Program Children's Liturgy of the Word Children ages 3 to 3rd grade will begin with their families in the church. Children who would like to attend the children's worship service, follow the crucifer from the Church to the Guild Room for an engaging worship service. A Puppet Ministry is implemented at certain times of the month and the children learn Bible stories through an age appropriate and interactive puppet show. The children are taught the prayers, service music, and hymns that we use in church during this time as well. Children rejoin their parents at the Offertory allowing families to celebrate the Eucharist together. Children's Ministry 2011-2012 Registration New families are always welcome to register their children on any Sunday throughout the season. A registration form must be completed each year for every child.
