Sunday School is held between Sunday worship services Labor Day through Memorial Day.

 

Purpose
Every child is a gift of God and with the gift comes the responsibility of training the child in the ways of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). Parents have the primary responsibility for this training. The Cross of Christ Sunday School assist parents in meeting this responsibility. Children are indeed precious, and nothing is more important than helping them learn the love of their Savior, Jesus Christ.

The Sunday School program includes weekly Bible lessons and memory work, singing during special church worship services, and a children’s Christmas service.

Enrollment
We encourage children age four through grade eight to attend weekly Sunday School. In order to begin lessons at the start of the first quarter, four-year-old children should start coming the September following their fourth birthday. The grade level in Sunday School usually corresponds to their grade level in elementary and middle school. Exceptions may need to be arranged for factors such as early entry into Kindergarten, skipping or repeating grades in elementary or middle school, or special needs of the child. Please consult with the Sunday School staff.

Offerings
Offerings are collected every Sunday from the children in each classroom. The Sunday school staff believes this will promote good Christian stewardship habits among our children—habits, which we pray, will be with them for a lifetime.

They are encouraged to give faithfully in order to develop the habit of giving regular gifts back to the Lord in response to His redeeming love.

Parents and the Sunday School
Cross of Christ Sunday School was established to assist parents in Christian training of their children. This is a team effort, and parents can help by:

  • Bringing their children to Sunday School every week and other Sunday School activities. Please bring your children so they are at class on time and supervise them until the teacher arrives. We also ask that you pick up your child promptly at 10:15am.
  • Helping child(ren) learn the weekly lesson, memory work, hymn verse, or any other special lessons.
  • Making sure child(ren) make up any lessons and memory work when they are absent.
  • Supporting the teachers by showing genuine interest in child(ren)'s progress.
  • Demonstrate how important it is to grow in God’s Word, whether you are a child or an adult.
  • Above all, pray for the growth of the children in learning the truths of God’s Word. It is the prayer of every Christian parent for the child to know that Jesus lived, died and rose again to atone for the sins of all people so we may have everlasting life with Him in heaven.
