CHURCH SCHOOL

St. Martin’s offers Pre-K through 6th Grade Church School every Sunday in Classrooms 3 and 4 at 9am during our regular school year (September – May). After Church School is over, children are escorted into the Sanctuary to join their parents for communion.

The Godly Play curriculum is offered during Church School to children in Pre-Kindergarten through to 6th grade during our regular school year (September through May/early June). We have accredited Godly Play leaders in all the classrooms who are passionate about this program, which encompasses:

 

Oral storytelling tradition
Wondering about God
Experience of God
Sacred time
Sacred space
Liturgical tradition
A personal creative response unique for each individual child.
Sharing bread and thanksgivings together.
