Certainly, one of the main focuses of St. Michael’s Children’s Ministries is Sunday Church School, but there are many other opportunities for children and families at our parish.
We invite your children to join us on Sunday mornings for worship.
When: 10 am -10:40 am (drop-off at 9:45 am).
Where: Children gather together in the Sunday School classroom 5 located on the lower level of the church.
Who: Age 3 - 5th Grade
What: When children arrive, a social time will start their morning, followed by instruction which is in connection with the liturgical calendar. Church School continues until approximately 10:40 am, at which time, the children are brought upstairs to join their parents in the nave for Communion and the end of the Service.
Nursery care is available for younger children during the 10 am service. The nursery is located downstairs.

St. Michael’s uses Living the Good News approach for Sunday Church School. Living the Good News is a lectionary-based, fully-graded Christian education curriculum. Its curriculum focuses on the same cycle of weekly readings used in our worship services; it also provides an opportunity for everyone in our education program, from Nursery to Adult, to center on the same theme, providing a "whole community" approach. The materials found in Living the Good News are relevant, educational, Bible-based, easy-to-use, theologically sound, and of course, fun!

During the season of Epiphany we prepare third graders to celebrate their First or Solemn Communion. This is a six week period of preparation during which we carefully look at the Sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation and the Eucharist with children. The children respond according to their desire for the sacrament and their personal maturity, which is discerned with the help of the family and the teachers.
