Christian Education, Concord Presbyterian, Wilmington, Delaware

CHILD CARE
On Sundays, child care is available for infants through preschoolers in room F210 in the Sunday School hallway.

CHILDREN IN SUNDAY WORSHIP
Children are invited and encouraged to attend the 10:30 worship service following Sunday School. "God-n-Me" classes are offered twice a month to children in grades K-5. This multi-age group meets on select Sundays, as published in The Concord Courier and the Sunday Bulletin. Immediately following the children's sermon, the children are led to Room F205. There they learn about how and why we worship and how to continually try to apply lessons learned in worship and our relationship to Jesus in our daily lives. Our objectives are reached through discussion, Bible reading, role-playing, crafts.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
Sunday School for children and youth is held from 9:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. Each week we collect an offering which goes to buy coats for the Holiday Family Offering in the fall and to help support the Youth Mission Trip which takes place in the summer.

AGES 3 - KINDERGARTEN in Room F211 (The Jim Dunlap Room)
Curriculum - Bible Quest
The children in this class learn about God's love as the teacher shares with them the wonderful stories of the Bible. They begin with the Old Testament and by the end of the year have heard the stories of Jesus and what God's love means to them.

GRADES 1 - 5 in Room A206, the Chapel/Choir room, for Sunday School Chapel.
This is our rotating workshop group. The first 20 minutes are spent with Christina Pressley, Director of Children and Youth Music. We then proceed to whichever class is on the rotation. Rather than assigning a room to a particular class, rooms are based on a specific teaching tool and used by all grades over the course of several weeks. Our workshops include art, audio/visuals, Bible games, computers, cooking, and drama. The classes rotate to a new workshop each week. The results are:

PRE-CONFIRMATION CLASS, GRADES 6 - 8, meet in Room A206, the Chapel/Choir Room for Sunday School Chapel, then proceed to Room F203
The curriculum cycles through a three-year program. The first year we study the New Testament to help students make connections and see the whole picture of how Jesus relates to their life now. The next year, the class learns about the Church's history and what it means to be Presbyterian. The following year focuses on the fascinating stories of the Old Testament and how they form a foundation for our faith.

As part of their Confirmation preparation, the youth learn what it means to be a member of the church by participating in a monthly service project and volunteering to help in different aspects of worship. They also assist the teachers with the younger children during God-n-Me classes.

CONFIRMATION CLASS is being held for those interested participants in grades 7-9 on Sunday's February 10 - April 27, 2008 (see schedule) after worship service (11:45am-1:00 pm) in Jessie's Room.

SENIOR HIGH meet room A206 for Sunday School Chapel and then proceed to the Rainbow Room, F201
The Senior Highs use videos, tapes, movies, and television shows to discuss question relevant to today. They also participate in agreed upon service projects.

The results are: Children more fully engaged in each learning environment Children having use of a computer workshop Children wanting to come back because they have other workshops to forward to in the weeks to come Adults teaching in their area of expertise and children who can feel their enthusiasm Children learning the "story" via all their senses - not just from reading, listening, and coloring around tables. They experience the story in multiple authentic learning environments. (We believe this helps with retention for better integration of the faith story in their hearts and minds.) Another gift of the curriculum is its emphasis on how our study of the Bible impacts what we believe and combines that with a spiritual practice.
