Faith Formation at Mt. Carmel for Children
Our Sunday School program at Mount Carmel focuses on the Biblical story. Using the Book of Faith initiative of the ELCA as our springboard, we have assigned a “Biblical theme” to each month/church season and each week features stories in that theme. The story is read during worship, retold in a creative way at the beginning of Sunday School, and then the children break off into smaller groups to explore the story or theme in another age appropriate way. The children learn the big stories of the Biblical narrative and also quite a lot about the rhythms of the church year. We use music and storytelling, wonderful books and resources, and the gifts and talents of the people in our congregation to put together a great program. Additionally, parents receive a newsletter with ideas and resources for practicing faith at home. |
