6:20-7:05 p.m.

Wednesday evening projects and activities are planned, keeping in mind the particular interests and abilities of each class.  Classes give elementary chidren an age-appropiate opportunity to share their faith and look more deeply into the treasures of the Scripture, as it applies to their lives.  We consider it a privilege to work so closely with some of the youngest members of our congregation. 

Kindergarten Class

A special time and place are reserved for our Kingergarten students to learn more about God’s love for them.  Through age-appropriate activities and projects, these students build deeper relationships with their teachers and friends that will serve as a foundation for life-long faith formation.  As their sense of independence increases they will make a place for themselves within the church community.  From lessons about their friends and neighbors, they learn to see themselves as an integral part of the PRLC family.

1st and 2nd grade

1st and 2nd graders learn to…

  • Live out their faith in community.  These midweek classes bring us together, despite the hustle and bustle of everyday life, to really get to know one another.
  • Live life in the rhythm of the liturgical calendar, growing in faith by learning about the seasons in the church.
  • Ask tough questions: BFJ students have a safe place to share the struggles and triumphs of faith formation.
  • Strengthen ties with our community beyond the walls of PRLC.  Community service is a component of our program.  In the past we have packed lunches for the homeless and turned art projects into gifts for friends in the hospital.

With full bellies and hopeful hearts we meet in Fellowship Hall and walk to our classroom together.  Every week we spend time working on a project, telling our stories and playing games.  At this age, students are enthusiastic about the details that make up the big picture of their faith.  The class curriculum helps students connect what they are hearing in worship and Sunday School with what is happening at school and home.
