Sunday School


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The past couple of weeks the children in Kindergarten through Fifth grade have been participating in the "Three Simple Rules" series in their Sunday school classes have been visited by John, Susanna and Charles Wesley.  They had a great itme learning about the life and times of these three people through stories, scripture and songs.  Also, most of the Sunday school classes wrote notes and/or drew pictures to be sent along with the clothes collected by our church to the children in the Middle East.

We are still in need of a few more teachers and/or helpers in the following classes:
4/5th grade - at least one helper for every other week
6th grade - at least two helpers for every other week
7/8th grade - at least two helpers for every other week

Jim and Terri Stull are teaching the 2nd grade class every week until the end of January but will be unavailable beginning in February.  We will need two teachers to teach every other week until the end of the church school year (June 2009) or four teachers to teach every other week until the end.  If you are interested, please contact Helene Klemanski at helene.klemanski@uspto.gov.  Thank You!

During October we studied John Wesley's Three Simple Rules
1) Do no Harm, 2) Do Good, 3) Stay in Love with God.
We would like to share the following prayers our classes wrote to express love to God.

 

 
 

Dear God,
Thank you for our friends and family.
Help us to do good everyday and to
Treat other people the way we want
to be treated.
And be respectful to others and to do
no harm to anybody.
We promise to always stay in love
with you.  Amen
            Jordyn Miller & Garrett Witt,
            Kindergarten
 

Please God, help the people all over the world
to get along and not fight.
We thank you for the Sun that makes things grow.
Help the bad people to become good.
We ask that you help us to be good followers
and to stay in love with you, God.  Amen.
                    The Second Grade Class

 
 

Dear God,
Please help us to do no harm.
Help us to be nice.
Help us to trust in you.
Help us to listen to you.
Help us to do the right thing.
Help us to stay in love with you.
            Amen.
            First Grade

Dear God, Our Father,
Help us to Do No Harm with our words and
actions and to always Do Good whenever there
is a need.
Help us to stay in Love with you God and pray
everyday.
Let us obey God and live his commandments.
                       Amen.
