Christian Education
Committee
St. John’s Christian education strives
to deepen the faith of all ages.
We have Sunday School classes for all
ages from nursery to adult. Children up to seventh grade participate
in a rotational Sunday School program. With this program the children
rotate between two or three stations; each with its own activity. Stations
may involve crafts, singing, lessons, games, skits, etc. Seventh and
eighth graders attend Confirmation class. Senior high and adult classes
use a variety of materials and formats.
Several times throughout the year we
run special informal evening courses for additional adult spiritual
growth.
Contact Beth Bright, the committee chair
at 742-3667 for more information about any of these courses or our educational
offerings
