"One on One" Sunday School

Some children learn best in a smaller consistant class enviroment...some would benefit seeing the same teacher and shepherds every week! Some children are "born leaders" and would love to share their know-how with other children.

This year All Saints will have a dedicated classroom for children who might learn better in a more typical style of learning enviroment, yet interactive and hands-on...too good to be true? No, All Saints has two very dedicated educators (Mary Wennersten and Carol Collins) who devote their gift of teaching to children of All Saints! If you would like to learn more about what this class has to offer your child please contact Rendy Horner. Your child is special, we know that and we hope this class helps them feel that way!

 "One on One" is:
During the regular SS hour (9am-10am)
In YO Room 2 (located behind the basketball net)
Follows the same stories as our rotation SS only class curriculm in adapted for the needs of the students
Children enjoy playing, learning and growing in their faith
Children have the same teachers and shepherds all year long so no need to adapt to different teaching styles every week.

Story the children are currently learning

Christmas Traditions:

It is very important to help children understand why "we" do the things we do to prepare for Christmas. This time of preparation is the season of Advent. The children will learn the Christmas story and understand why we decorate the Christmas tree (PS), make cookies, sing carols and read the Christmas Story each year. Please help your child start a new tradition this year if he/she comes home with an idea you don't already do in your home.

For more information regarding the Christmas traditions refer to the News For Nurturing the Faith Newsletter or talk with Rendy or Bobbie.

Mission Statement for Disciples' Workshop Sunday School

Mission of Children's Sunday School at All Saints:
Our mission is to give children the faith stories of the Bible to learn, remember and compare to their own life as they grow. To know the God of today is the same God of Abraham, David, Danial, Ruth, Mary and others of the Bible. To equip children with the Living Word; to know Jesus' love for them and know that Jesus died and rose again so one day they to will live in heaven with our Heavenly Father. To build caring relationships with adults, youth and peers; and to know that they as Christians should share the stories they have learned with others and to invite others to learn the Good News of Jesus Christ.

6th Grade Spirit begins in January each year for 6th graders. Though our Sunday School program for grades 1 through 6 is exceptional...as 6th graders finish elementary school they are ready for a transistion at church too.

6th Grade Spirit is a great way to help kids learn how to live their faith and understand what it means to be a Christian. It is a stepping stone to get ready for the 3 year confirmation program that is a head of them.

 6th grade spirit is:
Hanging out and talking with friends and caring adults
Drinking soda and eating snacks first thing in the morning!
Playing Basketball, Wii, PS2, Ping Pong & other fun on campus
Learning practical ways to apply your faith to your life
Going of field trips (bowling, mini-golf, ice skating)
An all day Lock-in complete with homecooked food, team building while having fun!
6th Grade Milestone and pre-orientation for Confirmation

2008/2009 Rotation Lessons


Classes are taught in "Story Rotations" lasting between 3-6 weeks each. Teaching methods occur through: Art, Bible Discovery, Community Service, Cooking, Games and Theater. Children visit a different workshop each week learning the "same" story only using different senses to discover a different concept about the story they learn.


Stories children learn in fall 2008:
Joseph if Faithful
The Life of Moses
Preparing for Jesus' birth- Traditions
Something special this year...the children learn popular/traditional Christmas Carols and help lead worship at the 4pm Christmas Eve children's service

Stories learned Jan. - May 2009:
The Wedding at Cana
The Woman at the Well
The Fishers of Men (The Disciples)
Saul to Paul
