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 starting in January! 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!

The Time Of Your Life
Multigenerational Sunday School
Sunday, January 26th and February 23rd
11:00am in Room 50
Step into the rhythm of the sacred with The Time Of Your Life, a transformative class that uses the Liturgical Calendar as a guide to intentional and meaningful living. Together, we'll journey through the seasons of the church year - Advent, Lent, Pentecost, and Beyond - uncovering how these ancient rhythms offer wisdom for modern life.
Through reflection, rituals, and eco-awareness practices, we'll explore themes of sacred time, spiritual renewal, and our deep connection to creation. For those interested in hands - on creativity, the class will include an optional creative project: designing and crafting a multi-layered fiber art Liturgical Calendar. This tactile, meditative project will allow you to bring the seasons to life, integrating personal expression and the sacred rhythms of the year.
Join us for an immersive experience where tradition meets creativity and make the most of the time of your life!
