New Ideas for the New Year!  

We tried a different slant on the children’s Praise School program when it began last fall:  One week would be a Faith thru Stories in small classroom settings, and the next week would be a Faith thru The Arts “tie-in”  session in the larger “art room.”  

Weren’t we surprised when our two ideas morphed into one Faith thru Stories and The Arts each session, and every age child and adult took part in everything together!  The older kids learned right next to the younger kids, with a parent or grandparent or church member joining right along in the mix.    

We want to continue that very open, caring, and spirited model!  The only thing that will change is the number of times we meet.  We have not yet found enough leaders who will commit to weekly planning, set-up, teaching, take-down, etc.   So, we’ll make an adjustment in dates and move along.  Our winter/spring lessons will focus on the life of Jesus...as a baby, as a teacher, his disciples, passion week, after His resurrection. 

  • We will NOT meet on the first Sunday of any month.  That’s communion Sunday, and often is a longer worship service.  This will be one of our “refuel” Sundays for regular leaders.
  • We WILL meet for Story and Arts on two consecutive Sundays a month, presenting scripture lessons in many ways just eight days apart.  Students who are only in town every other Sunday will then be sure to get the lesson on one Sunday or the other.
  • There MIGHT be a PLUS Sunday with an activity that compliments the month’s lesson if/when creative and clever people come forward to teach their particular skills.
We’ve learned that many families travel a lot on weekends and kids are here or there...not always in town.  We feel this plan will allow for away time as well as for engaging learning experiences at Praise School.

 Set-in-stone Sunday dates for January through May 2023 are:
January 8 & 15;  February 12 & 19;  March 12 & 19;  April 16 & 23;  May 14 & 21
“Plus Sundays” (Opportunities to lead a special skills class)

Required
Adult Participation

We ask each child’s adult to participate in classroom or back-up activities at least four times throughout the winter/spring.  

The main reasons for your involvement are:

  • To show your child that you are interested in what they’re doing, to learn with them, and to be able to have conversations about the classes once you leave church.  
  • To help the other volunteer teachers/leaders; we need a team and extra hands to make these active classes work!  Thank you!!!
For everyone to have a better understanding of what they can do in the classroom, we have listed four main roles:
  • ROOM AIDE: Comes down early and helps set up room, passes out materials as needed, cleans up and puts materials away at end, wipes down tables and chairs, vacuums.
  • SHEPHERD: Is a caring presence in the room, softly encouraging, talking with children who are fearful or upset, modeling how to listen when others are teaching, giving instructions, or when books are read.
  • TREAT MAKER/SERVER:  Make and bring a fairly healthy treat and serve it, along with a liquid refreshment (provided in refrigerator).
  • SHARE A SPECIAL TALENT:  Help kids bake, cook, sew, glue wood, etc. on a “PLUS Sunday.”
