WHO ATTENDS SUNDAY SCHOOL?

Any child in pre-school through 12th grade. Classes are broken into the following age groups:

• Pre-K and Kindergarten
• 1st and 2nd Grade
• 3rd-4th-5th Grade
• Middle School
• Senior High School

WHEN?

Sunday School is offered during both services (9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.) all year long.

• Classes for Middle School and Senior High School are only offered during the 9:30 service.
• During the summer, classes are only available for children in pre-school through 5th grade.

Children are expected to attend the beginning of the service and go as a group to their appropriate classroom after the Children's Message (approximately 15 minutes into the service). Children are not supposed to go to their classroom before this time as teachers need this time to prepare for their class.

• Pre-K and Kindergarten - Located at end of hallway closest to the sanctuary.
• 1st-2nd Grade - Located between the Nursery and Cribbery.

CURRICULUM

Ark and Dove Presbyterian Church uses the Seasons of the Spirit curriculum for all ages (preschool through senior high). This is a new lectionary-based resource connecting worship, learning, and service for all ages. The vision of this curriculum, being developed by publishers and denominational partners in four countries, is to provide God's people with lectionary-based, ecumenical resources that empower all ages to be transformed in Christ as they: * explore meaning and mystery in the Bible; * celebrate in worship, sacraments, education, and service; * engage in ministries of love, justice, and witness; * and live in inclusive communities of faith shaped and led by the Holy Spirit.
