Christ Church Sunday School Rocks!
Ice Cream Sundae
Sunday School begins September 12th with a New Schedule
We are trying something new this year as we utilize the talents of our seminarian, Chris Ballard. On all but the fourth Sunday each month, at 9:50 AM we will begin Church School classes for pre-school through eighth grade. At 10:50 AM Church School will end, and the students and teachers will go to worship in the chapel of the Parish House. Their worship service will include the elements of the first part of the Holy Eucharist (Collect of the day, the Gospel, the Creed and prayers for the needs of the church and the world). At 11:05 AM Father Lowry will bring the consecrated bread and wine to the chapel to complete the service of Holy Communion for the students and teachers.
New Families are Welcome
Our Sunday School and Youth Education classes are in full swing! All are welcome! To find out more about our exciting activities come look inside.
We are very proud of our Sunday School at Christ Church. The Sunday Christian education program has five classes for children from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and Youth Group for 7th and 8th graders. Come join the 50 kids who are already enrolled!
To learn more about our Sunday activities, please contact the church office at (516) 627-2184 ... or ... just drop by the church any Sunday morning. Our classrooms are well marked (by grade, teacher) and our friendly staff would love to speak with you.
What to Expect on Sundays
Please bring your children to the Parish House at 9:50 AM for Sunday School. The classes are divided by age, and the children learn about the Gospel lesson of the day through stories, crafts and discussion. Then the children have their own Holy Eucharist service in the St. Christopher Chapel. At approximately 11:15 the parents join their children in the Parish House for Coffee Hour.
On the fourth Sunday of each month, children join the congregation for a special Family Service. Kids can participate by serving as torch bearers or acolytes, or reading the scripture. The Chapel Choir sings a special anthem. The children stay for the full service and receive the Eucharist with their families.
Special Events
Our teachers spoil us with parties for many occasions, such as "Ice Cream Sundae" to start the year, a Mardi Gras party, and a picnic.
Our Christmas Pageant with LIVE animals is one of the highpoints of the year!
Father Lowry shows the
children how the altar
is prepared.
Second grade children receive special instruction leading up to a low-key First Communion celebration in the spring.
We do service projects throughout the year, such as Operation Christmas Child and Cards for Veterans.
