Bethlehem Sunday School

We welcome all children, from preschool through 8th grade, to join us Sunday mornings for a time of worship, fellowship, learning, and fun. 1st through 8th grade will meet together as a group, with the 3, 4, and 5 year olds making up their own classroom. The program for our youngest students focuses on bible stories, prayers, fellowship, and, of course, snacks! Students in 1st through 8th grade participate in a thematic program. The first Sunday of each month we introduce a new theme, which is supported and expanded on the following Sundays.

A typical month looks something like this:

1st Sunday- Introduce a theme
2nd Sunday- An activity to further expand that theme (food activities are favorites!)
3rd Sunday- Game Show Sunday, a day to show what you have learned and to work as a team
The 4th Sunday of the month is a very special Sunday referred to by our kid's as Fourth Sunday Funday. We are so very fortunate to have an art teach volunteer to come in to conduct an art project with the Sunday School students. They have the opportunity to learn about an art technic and to create a project based on the theme of the month.

The goal of our thematic program is to give students a good understanding of the major events in the Bible, to teach them how to navigate around the Bible, and to give them a social environment where they can grow in their faith.
