Sunday School / Religious Education ~ September 2024 Update

Dear Parishioners,

We hope you have had an enjoyable summer. We are looking forward to another wonderful Sunday School year! We plan to continue our education through the Bible. We have had two years of Old Testament lessons and one year of New Testament lessons. This year we will also focus on the New Testament teachings and stories. Many of these stories are ones we all know and love. We are excited to journey through Jesus’s life on earth and all of the miracles and teachings that Jesus brought to us.

We had our Vacation Church Retreat on August 15th this year. We had a great group of children participate in the children’s choir, games, and activities. Thank you to all our volunteers this year. We couldn’t do these retreats without all of your help!

If you have not already done so, please register your child for Sunday School. We have other events outside of Sunday School that we want to keep everyone informed about. When you register with us, we are able to keep you in the loop on all of our fun events!

Some events that we are looking forward to throughout the year are Trunk or Treat in October, Christmas Pageant in December, Oratorical Festival in March, and the Lenten Retreat on Holy Friday. We hope to have many other events and activities for our youth as well!

As always, we need volunteers for teachers and subs. We have had more and more children registering each year since restarting our program in 2021. We are able to expand our classrooms, and now we need the teachers to teach those classes. Please let us know if this is something you feel called to participate in. We are here to help get you started!

The start of a new school year is a wonderful time to reset and start anew. We hope to see all of our children’s smiling faces at the start of the year, and throughout the calendar year. Please reach out with any questions, ideas, or suggestions to Lauren or Karina at recagocny@gmail.com.

With Love in Christ,
Karina and Lauren
