LESSONS

In class, we will be reading the Bible stories and answering the questions for each lesson. We are compiling these sheets in a folder that your child will bring home at the end of the school year.

This is a work in progress, so we apologize for typos and other errors, and we welcome your feedback.

LESSONS

In class, we will be reading the Bible stories and answering the first set of questions for each lesson. We are compiling these sheets in a folder that your child will bring home at the end of the school year.

The second page of questions is for those who want to go deeper in the Bible lessons. Feel free to print these out and work through them with your child. You may send the completed pages to Sunday Church School, and we will add them to your child's folder. Or you may keep a separate folder at home, and merge the two folders at the end of the year.

This is a work in progress, so we apologize for typos and other errors, and we welcome your feedback. We plan to update the website every weekend with the new lessons.

LETTER TO PARENTS

September 5, 2013

Hello, parents of students of the 2nd and 3rd grade Sunday Church School class.

Thank you for entrusting part of your child's Christian education to us. As teachers of the second and third grade Sunday Church school class this year, we desire to supplement the training that you are doing at home with your child. We ask for your prayers as we learn together this year.

During our class times, we will studying stories from the Old Testament. We will prepare for and perform in the Nativity Pageant and participate in the Creative Art Festival project. Also, every Sunday we will have a reading about a saint or feast that we are commemorating that week. Click here for the tentative schedule.

If you have questions or suggestions at any time throughout the Church school year, please do not hesitate to contact us.

In Christ's service,

Timm Wenger, teacher
