This week in Sunday school

Sunday, January 18th

At the end of last semester, we brainstormed together what we wanted to do together in the New Year, and communion came out on top! This week, we’ll be welcoming Honorary Assistant Gwenda to help us grow in our understanding of the eucharist through a special, Sunday School-only service where we’ll be involved in every step, from set-up through clean-up!

On the first and third Sundays of January and February 2026, Sunday School will be in person at St. Matthias’, with a return to our schedule of second and fourth Sundays beginning in March. 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.

With our good friend Jean, we danced to Christmas carols, identified the symbols of Christmas in our most-loved music, and made a whole snowbank’s worth of snowflakes to decorate the church during the Lessons and Carols service!

Sunday, January 25th

There is no Sunday School this week. Join us instead for a very special hymn-sing to celebrate the 100th birthday of one of our very favourite Matthians! During this service, the Children’s Chapel will be available for those who would prefer to colour, read, or play quietly.
