St. George Sunday School is devoted to Orthodox Christian
education. The purpose of this is to help build up the Church,
the Body of Christ by nurturing every person in the life of
personal communion with the Holy Trinity. Being only a part
of the total life of the Church, Orthodox Christian education
is effective in the context of living faith in the home and
the church.
School Year Begins: 3rd Sunday
in September and ends: 2nd Sunday of June of each year.
Attendance: All students in
our Sunday School Program should be in Church for worship
at 9:00 a.m. They are expected to sit with their Sunday School
classes and participate in a respectful manner during the
Divine Liturgy. Students will be dismissed after Holy Communion
to report directly to their respective classrooms. The exception
to this is the Pre-K students who will be dismissed to their
classes after Father Rewais gives the sermon.
At the end of class (approximately 12:00 noon), the students
will be brought into the Lesser Banquet Hall to be dismissed
there.Parents can pick them up after enjoying the coffee hour.
The parents of students in Pre-K should pick up their children
from the classroom before the coffee hour. No children will
be allowed back downstairs in any of the classrooms.
Early dismissal from Sunday School requires a note signed
by a parent.
Faithful attendance is our only guarantee that our students
will receive a meaningful understanding of our Orthodox Faith.
The Sunday School aims to:
- instruct our children to learn about their faith in
Christ, the truth of the Bible and our Orthodox teachings.
- cultivate in the hearts of our children a strong character
with high moral values.
- to cultivate in our children a deeper love and respect
for their parents, their families and society in general.
- provide a sense of community and develop a Christian
identity which form the armour for being a Christian within
society.
