Calendar of Events

The Sunday School at St. Peter’s meets from 10:30 – 11:15 on
Sunday mornings in the undercroft (basement) of the Church.
This Christian Formation program is for all children of the parish
includes participants from 3 years old to young teenagers. This
is an active program designed to develop community between the
students as well as teaching about a life of faith.

We use the “Weaving God’s Promises” curriculum, which includes
education about the Episcopal Church and its customs as well
as the Bible and many activities and topics having to do with
diversity and justice in our world.

We use the natural beauty of our area to teach children as well. In
the fall we include hikes along with Bible stories. One example is
a hike to the top of a hill where they view Penobscot Bay and talk
about the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount. The fall also
includes apple picking and making cider and pies for the Loaves
and Fishes program and coffee hour. The winter includes sledding
and in the spring a time at the beach and reading the story of Jesus
after the resurrection appearing to his disciples over breakfast.

There are activities especially designed for older elementary and
young teens such as a “reader’s theatre” which is written by the
students and performed for the congregation during a Sunday
liturgy. Special youth services are held once each season, where
all of the liturgy and music is geared toward active, young minds
and hearts.

Come join a joyful, active and interesting group of people whose
Christian lives are formed in our Sunday School.

The Sunday School is led by Kirsten Staples and Joe Cox. Other
parent leaders participate as well and members of the congregation
also share their time and particular experience or passion, as it
connects with the development of a life of faith.
