SUNDAY CHURCH SCHOOL WELCOME TO ST. ANDREW'S CHRISTIAN EDUCATION MINISTRY |
||
| Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21 | ||
| Here at St. Andrew's, our treasure resides in hearing and studying God's word. There are a variety of experiences available and all are welcome to participate. Please feel free to explore our offerings and contact us through either Pastor's email or by phone (317) 243-6684. | ||
| But Jesus called for them and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. Truly I tell you whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it." Luke 18:16-17 | ||
| As Jesus has commanded, we delight in providing opportunities for young children to hear God's word and grow. From three year old preschoolers through sixth grade, we offer weekly Sunday school classes at 9 AM. The children are currently learning from Firelight II which includes the "Circles of Seasons" and "Jesus' Parables." Classes are lively and fun and overflow with Christian love. Children's Bibles are presented to all three year olds and Bibles are presented to all third grade children attending Sunday School at St. Andrew's. Fifth grade students receive instruction in Holy Communion. In order to bring children into our worship each Sunday, a special time is devoted to a children's message during the sevice where all children are invited to join our Pastor for a spiritual experience. In addition, each summer St. Andrew's offers a Vacation Bible school. In 2008, our VBS will be held in the evenings during the week of J uly 7. Please come early each evening and join us for dinner before the events begin. | ||
| Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 | ||
| As children grow into adolescence, we continue to provide educational experiences. St. Andrew's offers weekly Sunday Confirmation instruction for children in grades 6 through 8. This class is taught by our Pastor. As part of this course, students are also instructed in the responsibility of serving as acolytes during worship. At this same time, students are welcomed into St. Andrew's Youth Group which provides activities of service and fellowship through grade 12. Once confirmed, students may attend the weekly high school Sunday school class in a space upstairs dedicated to teenagers. | ||
| The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. Proverbs 9:10 | ||
| Society often looks at 'graduation' as an end to childhood and to formal learning. We, at St. Andrew's, celebrate the child of God inside each individual and offer classes for adults each Sunday at 9 AM. Currently, adults may chose between two offerings. In the lounge each Sunday, adults gather to study scripture often in context of current worldly events. In the fellowship hall, a Christian parenting forum entitled "It Takes More Than Love" meets to explore the task of parenting layered with faith. | ||
PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALWAYS INVITED TO JOIN US - BRING YOUR CHILDREN AND COME BECAUSE YOU ARE WELCOME AT ST. ANDREW'S! |

| Sunday School classes meet at 9:00 AM each Sunday. Classes are available for all ages from pre-school through adult. Childcare is provided for infants under three years old |
