Christian Education
Children and Youth
Programs
The
Children’s and Youth Christian Education
program at St. Patrick’s seeks to help your child better understand and know
the Word of God, as well as the principles and values of what it means to be a
Christian, and to share and proclaim Christ’s love to the world.
On
Sundays from September through June, 9:15 a.m.- 10:15 a.m., Sunday School is offered for the
following groups:
- Preschool
(ages 3 & 4)
- Kindergarten
through 1st grade
- 2nd
through 5th grade
- 6th
through 12th grade
We
use a lectionary-based Sunday School program called “Living the Good
News.” The children will learn and
discuss biblical stories, play games, and create art projects that reflect the
lessons appointed for each Sunday.
Child
care is provided in the Nursery for
infants and toddlers so they can play, color, and learn songs and prayers every
Sunday from 9:15 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
In
the sanctuary, lectionary-based word searches, coloring pages, and puzzles are
available at the back. Your child is
welcome to use these materials during the service. Please make sure the materials are returned before coffee hour.
Children’s Chapel Time is offered during the 10:30
a.m. service for children through 5th grade. Chapel Time extends from the reading of the
Gospel until the exchange of the Peace.
The children participate in an illustrative Gospel reading, a children’s
homily, an activity, and music. Once a
month, the children offer a song they have learned in Chapel Time during the
10:30 a.m. service.
Our
Youth Group meets at least three
times a month on a Saturday or Sunday after church. Some activities include monthly services at Sunrise Assisted
Living, outings to D.C., Shrine Mont retreats, mission projects, sharing meals,
and hanging out.
Please
feel free to ask any questions you might have about our programs. We value your input!
Adult Programs
Our Adult Christian
Education has included a Sunday morning bible study led by the vicar
and a Wednesday night Bible Study led by Jane Auld.
Adult Bible Study
(Vietnamese)
The Rev Tinh T.
Huynh leads the lectionary reading during the Vietnamese Bible Study,
which is held from 9:30 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. on Sundays. On the
first Sunday of each month, English speaking members of the church join
the group for a bilingual discussion session on the lessons of the day.
Adult Bible Study
(English)
The Wednesday
evening Bible Study is held at St. Patrick's each week.
Everyone is welcome and invited to participate. Jane Paterson Auld
taught series designed to fit the needs of traveling members. It
allowed parishioners to drop in any week.
Adult Inquirers' Class
Each year at St.
Patrick's we offer an Inquirers' Class for those who are new to the
parish and for those who have been here for a while but want to dig a
little deeper into who we are as a parish and as Christians. The focus
is on learning about the church's story, locally, globally, and
throughout time, and looking at how our own individual stories connect
with these larger stories.
