Help Wanted: YOU May Be Just Who We Are Looking For!

Wanted: Enthusiastic, Loving Mentors in Faith For Our 3rd & 4th Graders

We are looking for three to six folks who will share fun, faith, and fellowship with an exuberant group of 3rd and 4th graders (many of them boys) who love experiential learning, games, snacks and movement.

Support provided:
- A flexible curriculum that is user-friendly and provides multiple approaches to sharing the Gospel message.
-On-going consultation with the Director of Family Ministries.
-A well-stocked supply closet.
-All the Goldfish crackers you can eat.

Time Commitment:
-Church School meets from 9:50 to 10:40 on Sunday mornings.
-Church School meets 17 Sundays from September –May (3 meetings in September, 2 meetings in October, 2 meetings in November, 2 meetings in December, 1 meeting in January, 1 meeting in February, 4 meetings in March, no meetings in April, 2 meetings in May).
-Church School is taught in teams. Two teachers need to be present each time class meets. The more of you there are, the more you can rotate who is leading class when.

Responsibilities:
-Getting to know class members.
-Sharing the lesson each week (can be done by telling a story, playing a game, acting out the lesson, etc. – the more movement the better)
-Helping class members learn a bit about the liturgy by training them as acolytes during class time.

Skills needed:
-A love for God and for the children in the class.
-A desire to share your faith through the ministry of being present.
-A sense of humor helps along with a willingness to be flexible and go with the flow.

This is a group who enjoys being together and who really likes hands-on, experiential learning. They are eager to share their thoughts and questions, want to help and belong, and are looking for good male role models in particular. Are YOU who this group needs?
We cannot run our Church School program in the Fall without volunteers. If you would like to learn more or would like to offer your gifts for this ministry, please contact:
