Sunday School Classes

 

Faith! Family! Fun! are woven together to help children experience God's grace and love through music, stories, games and crafts. Prayer, friendship, and small group connections within the classroom are emphasized.

 

Bethel's Sunday morning classes begin at 10:05 am in English for 2 year olds through grade 6. Confirmation students in grades 7 - 8 meet on the second Sunday of the month starting in September and ending with a special homeroom wrap-up on the third Sunday of May.

 

Cherub, Children's and Youthful Praise choirs meet at 10:05 and then move to their Sunday School classes. Children not in choirs will have opportunities to participate in "Bible Discovery," "Connect," and "Alternate" sessions at the beginning of the Sunday School hour.

 

Bilingual Sunday School is offered at 11:15 am for Pre-K through grade 6 students.

 

Worship Services

Pre-K through grade 2 students are invited to attend either the 9:00 am or 11:15 am worship services with their families, then proceed to a "Group Gathering" in the Pentecost Room during the sermon, and return to the Sanctuary prior to the conclusion of worship. Students in grades 3 and above are invited to participate in 9:00 am or 11:15 am worship services. Bilingual worship for all ages is offered at 12:30 pm.

Sunday School Milestones
Bethel is committed to equipping parents to develop their children's life in faith. We offer quarterly family devotionals and special devotional materials for Advent and Lent. We assist parents and sponsors with their baptismal promise to, "place in their hands the holy scriptures" by presenting children with a copy of SPARK! Story Bible, featuring stories from their weekly curriculum, in kindergarten on February 10, 2013. This year's third grade students will receive a copy of the SPARK! NRSV Bible in October 2013. Third grade students also receive instruction for their preparation to celebrate Holy Communion. First Communion Celebrations will be held at 9:00 & 12:30 worship services on May 19. All Sunday School students are invited to participate in the annual Christmas pageant in December.
