In 4th, 5th & 6th grades:
- We work with our students to learn more about what it means to be a Christian as we live out our faith each day.
- We gain an understanding of how the Bible is set up and where to find things in it.
- We like to look at maps to get a better understanding of Bible places and events in an historical context. This helps to bring a deeper meaning to the story of the Bible and it brings it to life for us in a unique way.
- We study our Episcopalian “roots” and work towards comprehending what happens during our worship service.
- We consider issues that pre-teens deal with the most by digging into the scriptures.
- We like to help others in our community by doing outreach projects with our teachers and parents.
The three main themes of focus are relationships, faith and choices.
The 4th, 5th & 6th graders also actively participate in worship during Children’s Chapel as lay readers, acolytes, ushers and oblationers.
All children in grades 1-6 participate in periodic Children’s Eucharists when a member of the clergy leads them in their own special service. On these Sundays, children will not generally join their families until after the 10:00 AM service.
