Children go down to Religious Education after communion and remain until church is over.
This year each class is working on
different areas of our Orthodox faith:
Preschool
(ages 3-5)
Children will be looking
at God's World that He made. Children will talk about and learn about
the people, places and animals, etc. that God made.
Grades 1-2
The children's lessons will include
Bible stories, major feast days, loving God's house and learning about
it, commandments, and Sacraments.
Grades 3-6
Children will be focusing on prayer.
Praying should be done throughout the day, as a way to thank God,
and in emergency cases.
Grades 6-12
Children will be looking at the twelve
topics of the oratorical festival and they will also study the basics
of Orthodox Christianity using The Way, The Truth, and The Life
published by The Orthodox Christian Education Commission.
