children
Our Sunday school program for kids aged 3 through 6th grade uses the Godly Play program. Godly Play is a highly-structured Montessori-influenced program in which children experience the biblical stories and are invited to respond. The goal of Godly Play is to teach children the art of using religious language -- parable, sacred story, silence, and liturgical action -- to help them become more fully aware of God's presence in their lives. An enrollment form can be found heresunday_school_registration_form.pdf; please print, fill in, and mail to the the Church Office at 490 North Country Rd, St James NY 11780.
CONFIRMATION
Confirmation is the ritual in which as (young) adults we take on the vows made on our behalf in baptism. To be eligible, candidates must be active members of the congregation, at least 16 years of age (or turning 16 by the date of confirmation), and participate in confirmation preparation classes. Teenagers are also expected to participate for at least a school year in our J2A program.
