about the curriculum and for registration.

Following this, families will have the opportunity to tour and explore

We will have our first lesson together with the children the following Sunday.


 

 

Godly Play - Sunday School Begins September 19

Within the past year, most people who come to worship at Claremont Presbyterian Church have encountered elements of Godly Play as we have woven them into worship. This month we are beginning to implement Godly Play as our chosen Sunday School curriculum for the children of the church. This fall, both Rocky and Krista will teach this curriculum each week to children in grades 1-6 during the 9:00 hour. Krista will also work with children who are preschool age and in kindergarten using Godly Play material as an optional alternative to nursery care during the 10:00 hour following the "Time with the Children."

 

This curriculum was carefully selected as a program that will offer the children of our church the weekly opportunity to encounter the mystery of God through story, liturgy, play and wonder. It is both our hope and our expectation that through the skills developed in this learning environment the children who participate regularly in this program will develop lifelong inclinations to wonder about the mystery of God and their relationship with God both individually and as a member of a faith community. There are many ways in which to learn more about and become involved in this occasion to nurture the faith of our children. Whether you have children participating in this program or not it is important to the children that their church family knows about their work – which is play. Therefore, please look for the multiple opportunities that will be available to you to learn more about Godly Play in the coming year. If you have questions about Godly Play, please feel free to contact Krista, Director of Ministry to Children and Families, at (909) 624-9693 (ext. 309) or krista@claremontpres.org.

Calling All Acolytes

All children who are in grades 4-8 are invited to serve as acolytes in worship. Acolytes assist the pastors in important ways, by lighting the chancel candles, leading calls to worship, and collecting the offering.

 

Acolyte orientation is on Saturday, September 11th, at 9:00 am. Acolytes will get to know each other and practice doing the things acolytes do. If you’re not able to make the orientation and you want to be an acolyte, please call Acolyte Coordinator Kyungah Jung to be placed on the roster.
