The goal of Christian Education is to provide our children with a Christian Foundation upon which to build their lives.
Nursery
Our nursery is professionally staffed from 9:00 a.m. until noon and conveniently located on the lower level, just off our Aubin Street parking lot. Parents are welcome to sign their children in and pick up a pager to take with them into worship services. The pager allows our nursery caregivers the opportunity to summon parents, if necessary.
Pre-K from 9:45 a.m.-11:00 a.m.; Pre-K children have two options:
1. Attend Godly Play in their classroom on the lower level. This is our Montessori-based learning and play time. Children learn through hand-on experience, and “wondering” – as in, “I wonder…?” Lots of stories, sturdy props and trained and loving teachers.
2. Go to the Church service with your parents. Be sure to check the basket near the entrance doors and pick up your clip board with coloring pages and crayons!
All Children will worship with their families at the 10 a.m. Intergenerational Service in the Parish Hall on the third Sunday of the month.
Grades K-3 and 4-6
This year we will be using Godly Play, our Montessori-based learning and art time.
Sunday School for these grades runs from 9:45 a.m.-11:00 a.m. in the classrooms off the Parish Hall every Sunday except for the third Sunday of the month. We have a great teaching staff in place and are looking forward to getting to know every child who joins our circle of sharing.
Grades 7-8 ROC
This is the time to prepare for Confirmation in the Episcopal Church. Times for classes, activities and excursions will be planned with the parents of these students, in cooperation with teachers and clergy. The Rite of Confirmation is scheduled by the diocese and usually takes place in the late spring. Contact the parish office for further information.
Grades 9-12 Real Life
What will be the next for ‘Real Life’ in high school? The options are unlimited and each group that comes together to explore the ‘real questions’ of life will find adult mentors ready to walk with them in their ongoing faith journey. Meets on call of the group.

Youth Group
For activities outside of the parish, our teens excel! From Teen Night at a neighboring parish to traveling to the Barbara C. Harris Camp for a retreat or working to clean up the banks of the Merrimack River, this is the ‘go to’ group for the pulse of the parish! Environmentally aware, believers in God’s love and mercy for all, always ready to move with the needs of others and to help feed the hungry, come join ‘Real Life’!
Coordinator: Dawn Schmidt
