Sunday School opening

Lori Lord greeted everyone and welcomed them to the opening day of Sunday School. We call it "Rally Day" because we root and cheer everyone on and rally them to come back to join us. We had a good number show up for our kick off event. There were several more who promised to be here in the coming weeks as they wrap up the fair season and come back from family vacations and illness.

There were goodies for everyone to enjoy and some welcome back gifts for all those who registered. After everyone got settled in we began with a salute to the flags and a few fun songs. Then Noah and Chelsea helped by taking up the offering.

Lori then introduced this year's teaching staff.

Fran Rogers and Sandra Lucien were introduced as the Nursery Class teachers.
Rachelle Weimer, Janet LaFlamme and Zelda Earle were leading the K - 2nd grade class.
Pam Kane and Kelly Bolin welcomed grades 3 - 5.
Mary Brockway was announced as the new teacher for grades 6 -8.
I am working with the High School class again this year.
Curt Brockway was named as the Adult Sunday School Teacher.

We finished up our opening exercises by going out front to take our annual photograph. As we look back over the years it is fun to see who was there and how much everyone has grown up.

Classes will run from 9:15 am - 10:15 a.m. again this year and anyone is welcome to attend. You don't have to be members of the church. All you have to have is a willing heart.

Pam Kane is the Superintendent of Sunday School. You can contact her if any questions arise. Lori Lord will be co-ordinating the opening exercises again this year and she and Cynthia Strouse will be working on music for the Sunday School. Cheryl Dutrumble has also offered to help.

Mary Brockway will be directing this year's Christmas Play so stay tuned for news as we move toward through the Fall.

It was a good day and we got aff to a great start. It is going to be a fun year for all of us.
