Children at Westminster Presbyterian who participate in Church School will learn and experience many of the main stories and central themes of our faith in fun and creative ways.  We use the "We Believe" curriculum published by the Presbyterian Church (USA) in the children's classes.


Workshop Rotation:  for First through Fourth Grades

The First through Fourth Graders will follow “The WoRM,” the Workshop Rotation Model.  They will spend four weeks on a story or theme experiencing it in different ways.  Each class will work in one “workshop” (art, theater, games, audio-visuals, and more) each Sunday.  In each workshop they will meet new workshop leaders and work with the shepherds who stay with their class for the entire year.  The children will gather in the Theater Room at 9:30 for a time of music and prayer.
 

The Rotations for this winter/spring include:

  • Jesus as a Boy in the Temple
  • Jesus Teaches Us to Pray (Feb. 8, 15, 22 & Mar. 1)
  • Peter: 3x's "Yes" and 3x's "No" (Mar. 8, 15, 22 & 29)
  • Palm Sunday Celebration (Apr. 5)
  • No Church School Easter Sunday (Apr. 12)
  • Lydia (Apr. 19, 26, May 3 & 10)

Fifth and Sixth Grade “Romp Through the Bible”
Starting with “In the beginning,” this group will map, act, draw, and play their way through the Bible to Revelation 22:21. The challenge is to get the familiar stories in order, add a few new ones, and become the ready and willing people of the Book.


First Grade Worship Education Class
Each fall the First Graders participate in a special Worship Education program to prepare them to attend worship regularly with their parents. This class occurs from 10:30 - 12:00 on Sundays from September  through November when the children will be publicly welcomed to worship during the 11:00 service.
