Children's Ministry
Dear St. Peter & St. Paul,
I would like to take this opportunity to say “Hi!” to our new family at St. Peter & St. Paul. We recently moved from San Antonio to Roswell, and I couldn’t be more excited to be starting my new role as Director of Children’s Ministry. I’ve met many of you already and enjoyed a fun-filled week of Vacation Bible School. Your children are truly remarkable. I feel extremely fortunate to be stepping into a program that has been so successful, and I can’t wait to get started with Sunday School this fall. Thanks to all of you who have been so kind and welcoming to me and my family!
See you soon,
Jennifer Arnold

[here's a link to the old registration form: ] http://www.peterandpaul.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Sunday-School-Registration-with-Media-Release.pdf Sunday School starts again on Sunday, August 14th. Sunday school is from 9:15-10:15.
Please contact Jennifer Arnold [email protected] with any questions. Preschool: The preschool children have classes which focus) on a variety of Bible stories using the curriculum from the Virginia Seminary. Classes are taught with activities and music fostering a love for these wonderful stories of our faith.Our youngest children and babies have a lovely sunny nursery which is attended by caring adults and trained teenagers. Sunday school at 9:15 and the nursery is also available during the 10:30 church service. Kindergarten -1st Grade: Our Kindergarten and First Grade classes are combined and Godly Play is used for this age group. This is purposeful storytelling in which our children are taught parables, sacred story, silence and liturgical action using manipulatives. 2nd & 3rd Graders and 4th & 5th Graders: The children of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in second through fifth grades have an opportunity to reflect on one of the Lectionary readings (the readings used in Sunday worship) with caring adult teams of three using the Living the Good News curriculum. Each lesson will focus on one of the readings for the day, usually the Gospel. The lessons are age appropriate and filled with engaging activities. See below for assignments of Sunday School Teachers and Classrooms. |
Communion Classes: Little Hands at the Altar, and Come to the Table.Two Communion classes are offered during the year, in the fall and in the spring. Little Hands at the Altar is for all ages and presents a glimpse into the mystery of the sacraments of Holy Communion and Baptism. Children of all ages meet with a member of our clergy in the Nave to explore the Baptismal font, the altar, and our vestments. They will be given instruction on how to receive Communion. Parents are welcome!
Come to the Table is designed for children in second grade and older and offers an in depth look at Communion. The classes explore the holy spaces of Saint Peter and Saint Paul as they learn about Episcopal traditions. A team of adults will show children what others do in our church to make our worship meaningful, including a tour of the organ, the Altar Guild and Flower Guild. The classes are interactive and include a meal and group building exercises. |
