Sunday School at Wasatch
Wasatch Presbyterian Church has a place for you in… Children and Adult Education Classes
Children Sunday School Classes:
New Opportunities for children Sunday morning
2 & 3 Year Olds - We are now welcoming toddlers ages 18 months and older to join our 2 & 3 year old Sunday School class. This is an informal class for stories, play, snack and time to get to know new friends. Parents are welcome to hang around and make new friends too!
Pre-K and Kindies - We are inviting our pre-K and Kindies class (ages 4 – kindergarten) to join the elementary kids in chapel. They love learning and singing Sunday school songs. This means ALL children ages 4 through 5th grade will begin Sunday school in Praise & Prayer and then will be dismissed to their classes.
Elementary – We are now using the workshop rotation curriculum for 1st – 5th graders. Students will be engaged in active learning on the same Bible Story for 4 weeks through art, science, drama, games, cooking, puppets, theatre, etc. Kids will meet their Shepherds (committed adult volunteers) in Praise & Prayer each week for songs, prayer and offering. Then children are led by their Shepherds to their workshop for the week. Please check the sign outside of Praise & Prayer for workshop locations to pick your child up at 11 am. Wasatch previously used this Sunday school model for 6 years with great success. We hope you will join and support us in this change for children to continue on their journey to know God.
Adult Sunday School Classes for 2012
WINTER I CLASSES — Sundays, Jan 8th to Feb 19th : — classes run 10:10 to 11 A. M [no class Feb 5th]
Jesus and the Old Testament Room 355 (N. Loft)
Presenter: Dick Wunder
How – and why – did Jesus (as rabbi) quote scripture and rework Old Testament themes? In this class, Dick Wunder will compare O.T. passages with similar passages or allusions in the gospels, less as a study of "proof texts" proving that Jesus was the Messiah, as a look at how Jesus understood Jewish scripture. Based on Dick's 55 year experience of reading the Bible over and over again in multiple translations.
Poetry of the Sacred Room 116
Presenters: Bee Losee and Rev. Scott Dalgarno
It has been said that fiction is the lie that reveals the truth. Well, poetry, it seems to us, is best when it is the truth that reveals the lie. A poet is like the child in Hans Christian Anderson’s tale, “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” who helps everyone see what is, in fact, right in front of his or her eyes. If you are already a poet, or someone who wants to be a poet, or if you are simply someone who wants to try something new this may be something for you.
Bee Losee and Scott Dalgarno are co-leading a class on the writing of poetry. Every week you will receive a prompt – a kind of assignment from one of us. It will be meant to light a fire in you, or provide you a place to begin as you write something fresh. We also have a writing goal in mind. Bee came up with this one. She suggests that we all make it our aim to write something to enter in the Merton Institute’s Poetry of The Sacred Contest. Entries are due January 31. First Prize is $500 – not bad for a poem. Well, honestly, the real goals will be for us to have fun, write something that will surprise us, appreciate one another, and appreciate poetry more when we finish the class than when we begin it.
WINTER II CLASSES series will begin on Sunday, March the 4th offering Gremlins & Gargoyles, Saints & Sinner, Priests & Pilgrims: Medieval Christianity in Art, Architecture, Poetry, presented by Beth Phillips. The Last Week [Jesus last week in Jerusalem] presented by Rev. Catherine Putnam-Netto. Watch for details coming in the March Bridge Builder and on the church website.
