Our Sunday School is held every Sunday, September through May, at the end of Divine Liturgy for the children in kindergarten through 8th grade. We encourage you to attend the Divine Liturgy at 10 am with your children. The children will be brought into their Sunday School classrooms before Father Ljubomir’s sermon.
The focus of our program is to strengthen our student’s relationship with Christ through the understanding of scripture, tradition, and the sacramental life of the Orthodox Church. In addition to the weekly lessons on Orthodoxy, we do crafts to enhance the lesson and the children will be taught the music from our Liturgy. The children in the older classes will be reading the weekly Epistles in Liturgy, as well as our young men will have an opportunity to serve in the altar.
Every January, the children celebrate St. Sava’s life (St. Sava is the first Serbian Orthodox Archbishop and the patron saint of all Church Schools ) in which they recite poems and sing in the Serbian language. This is a tradition that dates back centuries.
NEW JUNIOR STEWARD PROGRAM FOR HIGHSCHOOLERS
We want your children not only to identify as Orthodox Christians but also to live as Orthodox Christians. Many children feel like they do not have an active role in the church after they graduate from Sunday School but that is actually when they begin their journey as followers of Christ. We believe it is important for your children to understand that they are cherished members of our parish. We are starting a Junior Stewardship program for just that reason. Our high schoolers will transition from 8th grade Sunday School students to Junior Stewards.
Each Junior Steward will pick a ministry to volunteer at least twice a month. They will be assigned an adult mentor to train and assist them in their chosen ministry. They will meet once a month with the other Junior Stewards, mentors, and Father. At the end of each year, our Junior Stewards will be recognized at our Church Slava for participating in the program and will be qualified to be a recipient of a scholarship when they are Seniors in high school. Please encourage your children to participate. We will be contacting you with more details in early September.
