Christian Education committee working calendar

At Lynnhurst United Church of Christ, the Christian Education committee is responsible for a number of activities in the life of the Church. Lynnhurst is a vital place for children and adults to learn of the living word of God.

The ongoing responsibilities of the committee are these:

Staff the Cribbery each Sunday so parents of small children can attend services.

Hold monthly ‘parents of young children’ meetings. These meetings cover topics of interest to its members and often have guest speakers.

Support the teaching volunteers and make sure all classes have teachers each week.

Work on redesigning and enhancing children’s class rooms in the church.

The special monthly events and responsibilities of the committee are these:

August	Sunday school teacher recruitment Teacher Appreciation Soiree. (Teachers are invited to a committee member’s house for treats and conversation. A wonderful time to get together before the busy year begins.) Select curriculum and order materials for teachers and children
September	Class room clean up day. Teachers come and get ready for the new year. Hold a Sunday school procession during the church service. Present an ‘Ice Cream Social’ for all to enjoy after the service.
October	Halloween party. A wonderful event with a haunted house set up by the older kids for the younger kids. The whole fmaily has fun with fortune tellers, bobbing for apples and the rest.
