Christian Education
Connecticut Farms Presbyterian Church offers a year round Christian education program for children, youth and adults with seasonal additions. Programs range from our Learning Center Sunday School to Friday Happening. Our Sunday school includes a gym, plenty of classroom space for our centers and a 10-computer center. Children K-5th grade can view a video program that offers opportunities to learn our faith. Children 6th grade and above are asked to remain in worship. We also provide Confirmation classes, Vacation Bible schools and Summer Sunday programs.
We offer older youth a separate senior High class under the leadership of Matthew Glaser and a Youth Fellowship under the direction of our Youth Ministry Team.
Adults can participate in a Sunday morning current events/Bible study/special interests class entitled F.A.O.ED. (For Adults Only: Education) or attend any of the regular occurring Bible studies through out the year.
We strive to offer something for everyone. And if we don't have it this year, we'd readily add it on for the next program season.
Reflection Time - It is human nature to want what we can’t have. Thankfully God is always within our reach.
Vacation Bible School - Wow! From July 19th through July 23rd the CE Department ran our annual VBS program. 51 children attended and with the help of many of our church members it was a huge success. The children enjoyed a week of bible stories, games, crafts and learned great songs. During our program, the children participated in 2 outreach programs. The first was making comfort pillows that were donated to the Union Fire Department for children affected by the loss and devastation of fire in their homes. The 2nd outreach program was donations of canned food items to the CF Food Pantry. Thank you to all who volunteered and assisted with this year’s programming. Without your assistance, I would not be able to run this program.
CE Donation - During our VBS program this year, we received monetary donations from some of our families which attended our program. The total amount of those donations was $95.00. The CE Department decided to donate this money to the CFC building fund.
Rally Day - Come out and join us on September 12th for the opening ceremonies of our 2010 – 2011 Sunday School Year. We will start off the day with a breakfast served in the gym for parents and students at 9:30 a.m. Students will then go to their classes at 10:00 a.m. in Westminster Hall. A special worship service will be held at 11:00 a.m. and bibles will be distributed to our 3rd grade students.
Sunday School - Our 2010-2011 Sunday school year will begin Sunday September 12th at 10:00 a.m. Please remember our students are too young to get themselves to church. So — as Parents, we are asking for your help and support to bring your children to Sunday School. What they learn in their classes will not only help them in this life but also in eternal life.
Confirmation Class - There will be a mandatory meeting of parents and students on Sunday, September 26th at 10:00 a.m. in the confirmation classroom for this year’s conformant group. Class will begin on Sunday, October 3rd at 10:00 a.m.
Youth Group - During the summer months our youth group came together for two outing: On July 17th we went Whitewater rafting down the Delaware River and on August 18th we spent the day at Dorney Park riding the rides and playing in the water park. We will be kicking off this year’s program with a hike along one of the Delaware Water gap trails and then Locking-In at the church on September 18th. Any child grades 6th through 12th are welcomed and encouraged to join our youth group program.
Childcare - Every Sunday morning childcare is available in our Nursery Room during Worship. Joan Romano, provides loving and gentle care for our children who are Kindergarten and younger. If your child is uncomfortable or restless, do consider taking advantage of the safe and competent paid care we provide.
Thank You Letter: - On behalf of Chief Fretz and the Township of Union Fire Department, we would like to thank you for donating the “Comfort Pillows” made by your children from the Vacation Bible School. Your commitment to helping in our community is sincerely appreciated.
Our goal is to make a difference, and along with your support, we can continue to achieve our goals in comforting our residence in a time of need.
Sincerely, Lt. Henry Sisbarro
