Children's Education
SOJ Children's Education meets throughout the school year for children age three (by September 1st) through 5th grade.
Starting in 2011, SOJ will be offering Children's Education on:
Wednesday evening from 6:45pm - 7:45pm
Sunday morning education hour of 10:00am - 10:50am
This change is being made to help reduce the sizes of classes on Sunday morning.
Also in 2011, SOJ Children's Education changed from a "classroom" to "rotation" education model. With the rotation model, students work through one story for 3 weeks through various learning mediums: Art, Bible Skills and Games, Cooking, Creative Drama, Music, Science, and Video! The workshops are fun and the lessons are well planned. Preschool students do not move to different rooms. The various learning experiences come to them!
The rotation model utilizes "Shepherds" who take students to workshops and Workshop Leaders who teach the same (or similar) lesson 3 weeks in a row.
SOJ Parents and partners are called to help with children's education during the year. The lessons are based on a 3 week time frame. As volunteers commit to helping with a lesson, they serve for 3 weeks; however they are welcome to sign up for as many 3 week sessions as they would like. We encourage you to share your talents often!
Little Lambs
Little Lambs Sunday School is offered once a month beginning in October for children not yet old enough for Children's Education.
We hope every little one in our midst, from the newborn to the most sophisticated sixth grader, will know she or he is a valued child of God.
