Youth Church School – Paxton Presbyterian Church Harrisburg PA

Sunday School Is Starting September 13!!!!!

This has been a crazy year for many reasons, that also means that we get to try new things and get to experience God in new ways. We are going to attempt a hybrid program beginning in September. The decision to get back to the building completely will be periodically revisited by the Session and by our committee and will be done with prayerful discernment while keeping in mind your safety, experience, and the community’s needs.

Overview of Curriculum

Theme– The Lords Prayer

We will explore The Lords prayer for 8 weeks. We will look at each line of the prayer and unpack the depth and richness it has to offer. This is a prayer that we learn in the church at a young age and is foundational to our faith. Christ is the source of this prayer and can be found through its study. There is much we can learn from it.

Zoom Classes – We will begin with a simple zoom game as students arrive. We will then watch a prerecorded lesson. Our teachers will create these lessons. At the conclusion of this lesson we will break up into small groups virtually and a teacher will be available to discuss the lesson and activities in real time. There will be simple crafts and activities that we ask you help your student with. We are sending most supplies ahead of time but you might need to supply a few. We will provide a list ahead of the class.

Grove Classes- During this Sunday School session older students will also be going over the Lord’s Prayer. Our teachers will have a time of discussion on Sunday evenings preceding “Prayers In The Woods” while following CDC and State guidelines. During the week the students will be given a Journal and will receive texts to help them engage in exploring their faith.
