Sunday School - Week of Sept. 16, 2018


Sunday, September 16th, 2018 - Holy Eucharist


Greetings Sunday School Families

This coming week marks the beginning of our Sunday School year and I am more than excited to welcome you! We have a fun and formative year planned. We will continue to offer three classrooms on Sunday mornings: Nursery (0-3), Children's Chapel (4-8) and Elements of Faith (9-11). Elements of Faith students will start in the "big" church and follow me out before the sermon.

In October we will begin our Confirmation Class (12 & up) and introduce Wednesday programming to parrallel the youth choir. This means a weekly youth group to entertain and help form our kids - and a Parenting Round Table - where we can discuss and discover ways to be good Christian parents, without being (forgive me) wierd Christian parents.

Each week you can expect to receive the Cold Springer, updating you as to the weeks offerings, both in Sunday School and otherwise. I hope to offer reflections on the week's lessons and share curated bits of faith and fun that I have come across. If you have an inclination to join our volunteer group, please let me know.

Yours in Christ!
The Reverend Jesse Lebus


Children's Chapel


The Children's Chapel centers around a Godly Play Story: a creative and interactive way to share the traditions of our church and the Holy Scriptures. In this Montessori based method, children discover their own inherent spirituality and learn the words to express it. This week we introduce the class to the "Circle of the Church Year" and the benefits of a rythm whereby we encounter the story of God's people year after year, from Creation to Christmas and on to Pentecost. The seasons of the church year have colors and the craft will be to create green decorations and prayer leaves to suit the current season.


Elements of Faith



We are very excited to begin a new year with our Elements of Faith class. This class is perfectly suited for kids who are too old for Children's Chapel but who still love to be creative. The focus of this class is to deepen the student's understanding of the themes of our faith and the workings of our church. While this Sunday we will explore the lessons (Who is Jesus, anyway?) and help set up for the Holy Smokes BBQ, in the following weeks we will familiarize ourselves with the church - from the Narthex to the St. John window - and we will help build a Paschal Candle for the Children's Chapel. Paper Mache anyone?

News

St. John's Episcopal Church was the first religious institution to be established in Cold Spring Harbor. The first Episcopalian services were held in the little 18th century school house just above the site of the present church. The very first Vestry minutes, written in fine script on September 4, 1831, lists the founders who pledged $2,000 to build a new church.

“If you are seeking after God, together we might find them.”

Seeking after God is one of the principle marks of Christian discipleship. Christians look for God, and find God, in all parts of life, but sometimes it helps to have company. That’s what the church is for. We are the fellowship of those who seek to find Jesus in their lives. We are companions in life and in the spiritual journey.

Join us in seeking God together.
