Greetings St.Thomas’s Community,
The first days of September 2023 mean “back to school” for many of us. At St. Thomas’s it means the start of the program year for Children’s Ministries. Our Sunday School team has planned a great year for our children and families, and I encourage everyone with children in grades kindergarten to 6th grade to register for this year’s program AND that you invite others to join us. (7th graders may join under special circumstances. Please contact Belinda.)
Our Sunday School program kicks off on September 10, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. with registration, refreshments, and a parent meeting. Then Ms. Belinda will lead our first lesson at 10:30 a.m. We also have some extra events planned throughout the year. I have attached some information about our program and a calendar of already planned activities to this email. Paper copies of this information are also available at church or I can mail it to you. Please let me know what if you have questions or need additional information. I would love to share in this ministry with you. I can be reached at belmar43@aol.com.
In order to make it the best year ever, our ministry team needs more adults and post-confirmation teens to volunteer to help us. We have several roles to fill. You could volunteer to help on a regular basis, an occasional basis or just for an event. All are welcome. Some of the roles include lead teacher, assistant teacher or classroom helper, event organizer, event helpers, family outing organizer, and Children’s Ministry Committee member. Please let me know what interests you and what you are willing and able to do. I would love to share in this ministry with you. I can be reached at belmar43@aol.com.
Please complete a registration form for your child who is in kindergarten to 6th grade for our Children’s Ministry program. This form will provide us with contact information and allow us to plan for the needs of your children. Paper copies will be available on September 10 at church and in our classroom every week.
Please sign up to be a Leader or Assistant leader for Sunday School.
I look forward to seeing all of you soon!
Blessings, Belinda Young-Payne
