Nursery Care
Care is provided during both the 9:00 and 10:30 worship services for infants and young toddlers in the Nursery, Room 106 on the main floor.
Church School Program
This year we adopted Seasons of the Spirit, a lectionary based curriculum that explores the same themes and scriptures as Sunday morning worship. There will be six classes using Seasons of the Spirit for 3rd olds through 8th grade. All children start in worship with their families and leave for Sunday school after children’s time.
- The Lambs – pre kindergarten threes, four and five year olds meet in room 006 use stories and activities from Seasons of the Spirit and meet every week.
The next five classes only meet three Sundays a month (or four in five Sunday months). On the first Sunday of the month they join Carolyn Hoskinson’s to explore the sacrament of Holy Communion. The five other classes are:
- Kindergarten – room 107
- First Grade – room 009
- Second and Third Grades – room 208
- Fourth and Fifth Grades – room 207
- Middle School – room 206
At CCC we are committed to continuing our tradition of Christian Education by creating a safe and welcoming environment for all children; exploring scripture and theology with an open heart and open mind; providing teacher support and training; and growing in the Spirit together as a community in Christ. Our Sunday school teachers are adults willing to journey honestly with children as they explore questions of faith together. None of us fully comprehend God, nor are our own journeys of faith yet final. Sunday school is about creating a space for children and adults to grow in their relationship with Christ and each other. We invite you to join us on this journey.
