Christian Formation

Sunday School for pre-k through teens, confirmation classes and adult education sessions are among the opportunities for Christian formation at St. John's.

St. John's Sunday School

Sunday School meets the First and third Sunday of each month, during the 9:30 service. Classes join the parish in worship at the passing of the peace.

MISSIONARY WORK ALL AROUND US:

"We need to not care so much about our church as an institution and care instead about its people-their needs and concerns, how to serve them." --

Senior Warden John Edwards, pictured here with Junior Warden Jean Bowerman at Convocation 2010

St. John's has two Sunday School groups dedicated to exploring what it means to be a Christian in our daily lives, and what our various holidays, feast days, sacraments, and rituals are all about.

• Pre-readers (3 to 5 years old) play games, make crafts, and sing songs.

• Readers (age 7 and up, mostly young teens) discuss the Old Testament reading, Psalm, Epistle, and/or Gospel for that Sunday; learn to follow the traditional liturgy in order to better participate in the service; and plan future services incorporating their own ideas, with guidance, to create a suitable and engaging liturgy for people of their generation.

More detailed information on lesson plans and attendance is available in a binder labeled "Sunday School" kept in the parish hall.
