Sunday School this year will be provided for two ages of children: pre-reader and reader.
The first day?
Sunday, October 2, 2011 Christ our Emmanuel's Rally Day.
The focus?
- provide insight into the BIBLE
- make the classes fun and interesting
- listen and let the children's needs guide curriculum decisions
Don't forget!!
DATE: OCTOBER 2nd
TIME: 9:45-10:30 (on "Rally Day" there will be about a 15 minute over-run until 10:45-10:50)
PLACE: CHRIST our EMMANUEL LUTHERAN BASEMENT ROOM
- a craft-project noise-maker to begin the first day as a rally.
- The children will gather downstairs to complete the "corn shaker" (all hands helping if possible--it needs to be completed by about 10:15 ), then come upstairs after Pastor has opened the service to parade-in and be introduced with all of us to the congregation.
