New Procedure for Sunday School (OCT 2016)

Dear parents and families of Sunday school children,

Thank you for bringing your child(ren) to Sunday school. We are very blessed to have so many wonderful families with kids at All Saints!

Please review the Sunday school procedure below. We started a few procedural changes last Sunday, and want to make sure the process is clear to parents and families.

1.       Families gather in the sanctuary for worship at 9:30 a.m. Children sit with their parents until they are called up to the front for the Children’s Moment.

2.       After the Children’s Moment, children follow their teachers to the Narthex (the area just outside the Sanctuary doors.) In the Narthex, the teacher gathers the children in groups. Our classes are combined as follows:

a.       Preschool and Kindergarteners – 3-5 year-olds

b.      1^st and 2^nd Grades – 5-7 year-olds

c.       3^rd and 4^th Grades –7-9 year-olds

d.      5^th and 6^th Grades, referred to as The 56ers –  9-12 year olds

3.    After the service, parents or guardians of the pre-k/kindergarten children should pick up their child(ren) in the Busy Bee’s classroom (located in the child care hallway, last room on the left, nearest the kitchen). Please bring your child(ren) down to the Undercroft (large open space on the lowest level of the building).

4.    1^st – 6^th graders will gather for the Large Group activity at the end of class time in the Undercroft.

3.    After the 9:30 a.m. service, all Sunday school children, parents, and families gather in the Undercroft. We will conclude Sunday school with our prayer song, Lord, Listen to your Children Praying, an offering, and announcements.

4.    Please make sure your child’s teacher is aware that you have picked up your child(ren).

5.    To help you identify your child’s teacher, photos of the teachers are posted on the Children’s Ministry bulletin board on the main level, near the Sanctuary.  We also have some fun facts about them if you follow the link HERE.

We believe these changes will offer a better transition for our littlest All Saints members, as well as provide a more secure checkout process for all our children.

If you have questions or concerns, contact Pastor Jon Pederson or Brenda Gilsrud, Children’s Ministry lay leader, via the church office (aslc@allsaintsmtka.org or 952.934.3550).
