This week in Sunday school

Sunday, May 11th

We’ll be celebrating our patron saint, Matthias, in several different ways today! One of those will involve learning about the Eastern Orthodox practice of writing icons, using some of the icons of Matthias around the church as examples.

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 the mysteries of the Church, exploring rituals, objects, ceremonies, and more. As we follow the liturgical calendar, 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. And, during the big season of Lent, we’ll dive into the Lord’s Prayer to unpack the way Jesus taught us to pray.

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.

Like we do twice a year, on this First Sunday after Easter we had a Very Low Church service - in the basement! Very Low Church is an opportunity for the whole congregation to participate in Sunday School, so we have an opportunity to be good hosts and help others learn about the ways that we pray, talk, play, and create together.

Our annual Sunday School Gardening Day is upon us! This week, we’ll be digging up dandelions, planting annuals, and learning to love and care for the many plants that make St. Matthias’ grounds beautiful - accompanied as usual by some of our friends from the Grounds & Gardens Committee.

If the weather is rainy, we’ll switch our schedule around and be indoors, celebrating the birthday of the Church (the Feast of Pentecost!)
