Glad you asked …
We have new faces in our church school this year. We have some new teachers that have graciously volunteered their time (Kira Mathers and Greg Lightfoot). Rick Maynes will be staying on with us and Louise McRae will act as a supply teacher this year and help out, as required, after spending many dedicated years in the Church School full-time. We are blessed to have such loyal and committed mentors in our church. Sandra Smith has had to leave the Church School as coordinator. I will be stepping in as volunteer Church School Coordinator and only hope to fill the shoes of my predecessor. We continue to look for more volunteers as the church season begins.
The Church School will be learning from The Whole People of God once again this church season. This year includes readings from the gospel of Matthew and, in this season, the Exodus story. We will be following the Moses saga in Unit 1—so we are looking back to the very beginnings of our faith community in the Judeo-Christian heritage. The stories of the Hebrew people and their struggle to be faithful help us to reflect on what it means to be faithful in our time.
The logo for Unit 1 is a circle, symbolizing God (whose love has no beginning or ending like a circle) and the interconnection of the whole creation. The circle is made with braided sweet grass, which is used by many people of the First Nations throughout North America to purify or cleanse the body and soul. The sojourn in the desert was a time of cleansing and transformation of the Hebrew people.
The symbol ,Gathering into The Sacred Circle, reflects Native and non-Native Christian people coming together into the Sacred Circle or Christian community, to begin building this community, and to explore how God is with us. The non-Native Christian people are symbolized by the crosses; the Native community are represented by the feathers. All are gathering into the Sacred Circle of the braided sweet grass. The leather strips represent the four directions, which are very important to the Native community. The Christian community is pictured exploring the universe which is symbolized by the sun and the stars.
Worldwide Communion Sunday also occurs during this unit. The logo with its four directions reminds us of all the peoples of the earth—those who live in the north, the east, the south, and the west.
We will keep you posted during the church year as we move on to Unit 2 in November and December and look forward to embracing the congregation with our presence. We look forward to seeing you at the Church School Open House in the weeks to come and having you meet the teachers and the children. Our door is always open to visitors.
