This week in Sunday school

Sunday, September 14th

We’ll be welcoming each other back from our summer break through the medium of a story Jesus told about One Lost Sheep. We’ll play sheep-themed games and create sheep-themed creations, tell our own summer stories in Jesus’ special teaching format, and think together about how we, too, can be like shepherds!

As this is the first Sunday of our year, we will also be doing some housekeeping, including brainstorming together how our usual Sunday School liturgy should look this year.

On the second and fourth Sundays of each month, Sunday School will be in person at St. Matthias’. We’re conscious of the need to maintain cleanliness and good ventilation, and we’re asking our families to do their part, too! We encourage anyone with a fever to stay home, and runny noses will be required to wear masks. We have our own pediatric masks available for anyone who develops a need during Sunday School, too. For more information about our in-person plan, drop us a line!

This semester, we’re spending time with stories Jesus told - and stories about Jesus! - in line with the lectionary. As we follow the liturgical calendar through our celebration of festivals like the Season of Creation, Thanksgiving, All Saints, Advent, and Christmas, we’ll discover the ways that the different seasons of our life as a community teach us lessons we can use in our whole lives.

We’re also looking for volunteers to come and spend time with the Sunday School so that Janet and Jessica can take alternate Sundays off. If you’re interested in being part of our little community, please get in touch with Fr. Patrick.

Sunday, September 28th

The story Jesus told about Different Workers, Same Vineyard will be our entry-point into a discussion about how God thinks about value. To go with this heady topic, we’ll untangle some physical knots, do tasks in teams, and create some creations to help us remember what’s so fair about going to work at different times!
