Sunday School

Post-pandemic we are conducting Sunday School classes in a mixed mode. The first two Sundays of each month classes meet in person, face-to-face. The remaining Sundays each month, classes are conducted via Zoom video conferencing. Please contact our church office for Zoom class details.


Good Shepherd Lutheran Church offers a Sunday School program for children from ages three to thirteen.  We use the “Growing in Christ” program from Concordia Publishing House which provides materials for four age groups: 

  • the Early Childhood level is for children as young as age three up to, and including, children in senior kindergarten. 
  • the Lower Elementary level is taught to children in Grades 1-3;
  • the Upper Elementary level is taught to children in Grades 4-5;
  • and the Middle School level is for children in Grades 6-7. 

Our Sunday School program is offered from September to June and is held in our lower hall.  We have a common opening routine that begins at 9:15 a.m. after which the children break-out to their respective classes at approximately 9:30 a.m.  The staff then have a 45 minute teaching period after which the children are dismissed at 10:20 a.m. prior to adult worship service.

 

It has long been a tradition at Good Shepherd that the Sunday School children participate in and present an annual Christmas Program.  This is presented during one of the worship services in the month of December, and is a Christmas favourite for the congregation.

As part of our ongoing learning experience we also offer a Vacation Bible School program every August.  The program for this is also from Concordia Publishing House.  The program at Good Shepherd is run for five days from Sunday to Thursday evenings.  Exact dates and times are posted on our website once they have been determined.
