Sunday School
Explore With Us
Something truly remarkable is unfolding in our Saint Francis Sunday School program. Each Sunday, our group is enriched not only by the presence of our wonderful children and youth, but also by a handful of magical adults who join us. This unexpected gift beautifully realizes the dream of Sue Gemoets, a dear friend and mentor who envisioned a Sunday School that embraces the richness of experiences across generations—from ages 2 to 100! This vibrant, multi-generational environment brings together diverse perspectives, and each is treasured equally.
Exciting changes are coming to our Sunday School and Children, Youth, and Families (CYF) programs this year! We're thrilled to embark on this next chapter in our ministry, reimagining Sunday mornings to better meet the needs of families of all ages. Sunday School will continue during the 9:30 Service at the Celebration Center, with engaging activities waiting for kids at the table. And don’t miss our new multigenerational Sunday School offerings coming soon! Together, we’ll explore themes like time, calendars, thresholds, seasonal changes, and the sacraments—delving into continuity, ritual, and the sacred. Join us as we journey into a season of exploration, inspiration, and deeper connection!
For Kids both big & small
This April remember that awakening is possible, to the goodness of God, the
sacredness of human life, the sisterhood and brotherhood of all.
