Sunday School
10:30am
Join us for Sunday school at 10:30am with all of the children (Prek-5th grade) to learn Bible stories through music, games and activities. This should last about 15-20 minutes. Following this, 4th and 5th graders only meet for an additional 20 minutes where will dig a little deeper in our Bible lesson through age appropriate activities. Once we resume in-person worship these students will have their own grade level classes.
As for supplies Miss Michelle will offer a box of materials available for pick up or delivery the week before Sunday School resumes. These items will be for the first 6 weeks of Sunday School. You do not have to have these boxes to participate in Sunday School: In addition to creating these Sunday School boxes Miss Michelle will email the materials list each week, and you can prepare for the class at your convenience.
Kindergartners- Please let us know if your child is entering Kindergarten this Fall. We have created a fun Kindergarten package for them.
Acolytes
If your family is interested, please take a short video (10 seconds or so), horizontally of children lighting a candle at home to represent “bringing in the light” for the worship services. Your video does not need sound (but you don’t have to worry about muting it because Rich will have music background over your video sound).
Mix it up any way you’d like. If you have multiple kids, they could make a video together or separate – your choice. Once you are finished with the video, email it to Rich (richcopleyphoto@gmail.com).
Please let us know if your child would be interested in doing this as a meaningful part of our worship service. Once we resume in person worship Kate will contact those interested in continuing to acolyte.
Readers
We are asking children to read the scriptures for worship on the 2nd Sundays of the month. Please let me know if your child is interested and what month your child would be available to do so. Again, readers will begin on-line and when we resume in-person worship will read the scriptures during their assigned month.
GeNext
A great program is returning for our 4th and 5th graders. This program helps our oldest children prepare for youth group. Previously, we met once a month but will start this semester with two scheduled socially distanced fun activities. Once we resume in-person worship we will return to once a month activities. In May, our 5th graders will join the Youth Group on a fun outing as they move up to middle school.
Maxwell Street is closed to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. More information about the 2020-21 School year will be available soon. The church remains closed to in-person services through 2021.

Sunday school happens immediately following the Children’s Message during the worship service. Following the Children’s Message, the children will be escorted downstairs to their classrooms and teachers. Parents are to pick their children up immediately following worship in the Fellowship Hall below the sanctuary. If you have any questions about Sunday school or would like to volunteer to be a teacher, please contact Michelle Jones at michelle.jones@maxpres.org.
