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. 1st
and 2nd Grades – 5-7 year-olds
c. 3rd
and 4th Grades –7-9 year-olds
d. 5th
and 6th 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. 1st
– 6th 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).
