Jesus said, “Let the children come to me.” On most Sundays, pre-K through 6^th grade children start in worship and then leave for Sunday School during the “Passing of the Peace.” Our volunteer teachers, or Spiritual Mentors, welcome the children into a positive, loving, fun, and safe space. Through age-appropriate arts and crafts, drama, creative writing, discussion and play that is grounded in Bible stories and spiritual practices, children encounter God, learn about Jesus, and begin the journey of discovering how to live as thoughtful and engaged Christians.   September 4: “Setting Sail.” Acts 27-18. Paul and other prisoners were put on a boat for Rome. A storm ran them aground in Malta, but everyone was saved. Paul healed people there before sailing to Rome. Purpose: To see that God was with Paul through difficult times.
