Special Winter Sunday School Units
5th Grade Who Am I?
Sundays, January 12 - March 8 @10am
Room P304
This series is a great opportunity for FPC 5th graders to ask questions about faith and to grow in their relationship with God. There is no cost for this class, but we do ask that you register so that we may prepare enough materials.
The book Who Am I? by Katherine Paterson will be provided for each child. Please ask your child to bring his/her book to class each week. We encourage parents to read along with their child. The topics are very relevant and spark important faith conversations that would be further enriched by your discussions.
4th Grade Catechism
Sundays, January 12 - March 29 @10am
Room P306
The Presbyterian Church developed the Belonging to God Catechism in 1998. In a Question and Answer Format, it focuses on: Creation, Covenants, Commandments, The Work of the Spirit & Church, Worship & Sacraments, and the Lord’s Prayer. A copy is given to each child so they have a reference to look back at as they grow in their faith and continue to have questions about who we are, who God is, and what the church is called to be. Before our tweens make the transition to Middle School we use this time to review major concepts from the stories they have been learning throughout their Sunday School years. It is a great opportunity to ask questions and see how these shape our discipleship.
