Sunday School in October
Sunday School for young followers of Jesus is back at Bayfield Presbyterian Church with a new format! Kids who want to be involved in Sunday School will gather at 10 a.m. for worship, as usual, and then when Pastor Lawrence does the regular blessing at the font, the kids will be released for Sunday School downstairs. Sheree Peterson is our primary teacher. The class will stay downstairs and join the rest of the congregation for Fellowship after the service.
Sunday School won’t meet every Sunday, but roughly every other Sunday. On the Sundays where there is no Sunday School the kids will stay in worship as usual.
We are using the “Follow Me” curriculum from the Presbyterian Church (USA) and we focus on different themes in a four-session cycle. Our first theme will be “Worship God” and the kids will learn some of the basics about our worship life as Christians and Presbyterians. Here is what the first cycle looks like:
October 13 We Are Changed (Luke 9:28–36)
October 27 We Bless God (Psalm 104)
If you are 8 to 12 (or thereabouts) and want to participate, contact Pastor Lawrence or Sheree Peterson to register or for more information.
We are also looking for people who could be back up teachers for Sheree in case she can’t be here on a Sunday. If you are interested in learning more about that, please contact Sheree Peterson.
And of course, please keep our new Sunday School in your prayers!
Area churches are coming together to offer a service of Midday Prayer on Wednesdays at noon. Each Wednesday gathering will begin at noon with a half hour of silent prayer and contemplation. At 12:30 we will have a short service of readings and prayer according to our tradition. We hope this will be an opportunity for solace and contemplation in the middle of the week.
Christ Episcopal Church will host for the month of October.
