Church School

Sunday Church School

From September to May, children from age 4-18 W.O.R.M. their way through most of the Bible. W.O.R.M. (Workshop Rotation Method) is the most fun and exciting thing to have wiggled its way into our Church School. During each rotation of 4-6 weeks, the children will experience a bible story presented in a variety of ways and have the opportunity to rotate through the different activity centres.

Church School News: Feel free to contact us if you would like to help in some way, but don’t know how, don’t know what is involved, or can only make a small commitment as we would love to hear from you.

Shepherd – Is an adult that will stay with a class during the rotation (usually 4-6 weeks). He/she will gather the children for story telling and discussion as well as attendance and collection. Shepherds may also lead a craft or activity. If you would like to shepherd, but can’t commit to a full rotation, you may team up with another person.

Workshop Leader – Moves to each classroom during a rotation. They will plan and implement activities that correspond with the story the Shepherd has told the children. You can bring an idea, story, talent that you would like to share or we can provide one for you. In the past workshop leaders have done crafts, puppets, cooking, theatre, discussion and story telling, and even knot tying! Workshop Leaders are not necessarily committed to each Sunday of the rotation.

Lead Shepherd – Supports and oversees the shepherds and workshop leaders of the rotation. They work in conjunction with the ministry staff to provide information materials and set up an orientation for the group. The Lead Shepherd also collects the offering baskets, records attendance, and is the main contact person for shepherds and workshop leaders during a rotation.
