AT THIS TIME THERE ARE NOT TEACHERS FOR THE JR. HIGH/HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS. WE ARE AWARE THAT THIS GROUP OF STUDENTS ARE CURRENTLY INVOLVED WITH THE SEEKER GROUP, AND DO MEET ONCE A MONTH WITH SEEKER LEADERS , AS WELL AS THE CANTERBURY VISITS ONCE A MONTH. WE WILL UPDATE OR ANNOUNCE WHEN/IF WE HAVE TEACHERS IN PLACE FOR THIS AGE GROUP.
ALL STUDENTS MUST HAVE REGISTRATION FORMS FILLED OUT AND LEFT WITH THE CLASSROOM TEACHER. REGISTRATION FORMS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN EACH CLASSROOM AND ARE AVAILABLE IN THE OFFICE ALSO. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE REGISTRATION FORMS, PLEASE SEE JOELLE CHANEY OR LAUREEN SHARPE. WE HAVE DONE OUR BEST WITH CLASS ROSTERS, PLEASE LET US KNOW IF WE ARE MISSING SOMEONE OR HAVE PLACED THEM IN THE WRONG AGE GROUP OR SPELLED THEIR NAMES INCORRECTLY OR THEY WOULD PREFER TO BE CALLED BY A NICKNAME.
WHAT DOES A TYPICAL CLASS FOR YOUR CHILD LOOK LIKE? WE USUALLY GATHER THE CHILDREN, FIND OUT HOW THEY ARE AND HOW THEIR WEEK PRIOR WAS, OPEN WITH A PRAYER, MOVE ON TO PREPARED LESSON & ACTIVITIES FOR THE DAY, HAVE A SNACK (USUALLY A PRAYER PRIOR TO SNACK), CHILDREN’S COLLECTION (CLASSES ROTATE WHO TAKES COLLECTION IN TO THE CHURCH), WRAP UP OF ACTIVITIES WITH A CLOSING PRAYER AND DISMISSAL. KIDS AND TEACHERS RETURN TO CHURCH DURING THE PEACE. OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE A GATHERING, THE STORY, AND THEN GOING FORTH—A WEEKLY RITUAL THAT PROVIDES A REASSURING AND DEPENDABLE STRUCTURE FOR THE KIDS NO MATTER WHICH TEACHER VOLUNTEER IS THERE IN CLASS ANY PARTICULAR SUNDAY.
WE ARE USING THE EPISCOPAL CHILDREN’S CURRICULUM OR ECC AGAIN THIS YEAR. THE PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED BY AN EPISCOPAL SEMINARY AND AN EPISCOPAL PUBLISHER EXPRESSLY FOR THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH. IT IS BUILT ON SCRIPTURE, THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER, THE HYMNAL 1982, CHURCH TRADITIONS, LITURGY AND HISTORY. ECC FOCUSES ON FOUR GENERAL AREAS OF STUDY-OLD TESTAMENT (HEBREW SCRIPTURES), NEW TESTAMENT, SACRAMENTS,AND THE CHURCH. THESE FOUR AREAS ARE STUDIED EACH YEAR AT EACH AGE LEVEL.
ECC PROVIDES NINE YEARS OF MATERIALS, THREE AT EACH OF THREE LEVELS: PRESCHOOL/KINDERGARTEN (AGES 3-5); PRIMARY (GRADES 1 TO 3) AND INTERMEDIATE (GRADES 4-6).
TO DESIGNATE THE YEARS WITHIN EACH AGE LEVEL, THREE SYMBOLS ARE USED: SHELL (IN THE YEAR THAT BAPTISM IS STUDIED); CHALICE (IN THE YEAR THAT EUCHARIST IS STUDIED); CROSS (IN THE YEAR THAT WORSHIP IS STUDIED).
THE CHURCH SCHOOL IS CURRENTLY ON THE CHALICE YEAR.
WE’VE MOVED! WELL, WE’VE ACTUALLY MOVED A LOT OF STUFF !
ALL OF THE CHURCH SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND CURRICULUM HAVE BEEN MOVED TO A NEW AREA OF SHELVES IN WHAT IS NOW ALSO THE CLASSROOM FOR THE 2ND/3RD/4TH GRADE CLASS. IN OUR EFFORTS TO INVENTORY AND ORGANIZE OUR SUPPLIES, WE ARE TRYING TO KEEP WHAT WE ARE STORING TO THE SHELVING UNITS THAT THE BUILDING AND GROUNDS GROUP HAVE SO GENEROUSLY SUPPLIED. WE HUMBLY ASK THAT AT THIS TIME NO NEW DONATIONS ARE ADDED TO OUR INVENTORY SO THAT WE CAN MAINTAIN THE SPACE WE’VE BEEN GIVEN TO IT’S CURRENT CAPACITY. PERHAPS AS WE GET USED TO OUR NEW SPACE WE WILL PUBLISH A WISH LIST OF SUPPLIES WE ARE IN NEED OF, BUT AT THIS POINT IN TIME WE ARE FILLED TO CAPACITY-THANKS BE TO GOD!
WE HOPE YOUR CHILD WILL BE HAVING FUN WITH US EACH SUNDAY AND THAT THEY KNOW THEY ARE A VERY SPECIAL PART OF ST. ANDREW’S. WE INVITE YOU TO VISIT WITH YOUR CHILD’S TEACHERS AND GET TO KNOW THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HELPING YOUR CHILD GROW IN GOD’S CHURCH.
GOD’S PEACE,
THE ST. ANDREW’S CHURCH SCHOOL TEACHER VOLUNTEERS : DONNA BULLARD, JOELLE CHANEY, ART NOREN, KEVIN & TAMI ROUSSEY, TOM & LAUREEN SHARPE, CHRIS WALL.

St. Andrew's Mission Statement
The mission of St. Andrew's Church is to show forth powerfully the love of God in Christ, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, by means of worship, fellowship and service to all who come to us, to those whom we seek out and to one another. Corporately, we will grow in numbers and in tangible and intangible resources. Communally as well as personally, we will grow toward the full maturity of Christ.
