Sunday School

Posted on February 2nd, 2012

Wyman Sunday School welcomes children of all ages. We provide many opportunities for children to be involved in the church service and in their Sunday school class.

In the back of the sanctuary you will find a rocking chair, crayons, colouring books, and a little bit of extra space to settle the children and focus on the worship service.

Children are invited at each service to join the minister at the front of the sanctuary for some sharing time and reflection on the week’s readings. A prayer is shared and the children can either stay with their parents in the sanctuary or join a Sunday school class.

Sunday school classes currently consist of two age groups. We teach from a lectionary-based curriculum, which provides a variety of activities for children to make connections to the weekly readings. The younger group learns Bible stories through interactive story-telling, music and use of storyboards. A craft and a closing prayer close the session. The older children revisit the weekly Bible readings using The Good News Bible and work to connect faith to their life experiences. Discussion, community outreach, and the arts make up the activities for this age
group.

Outside of the Sunday school classes, children are encouraged to be active members of the church community through participation in Christmas and Easter dramas, lighting candles during the season of Advent, hosting Pancake luncheons during the season of Lent, and presenting songs to the congregation during worship.

Confirmation classes are available for children thirteen and older, upon request.
