     Beginning in November, 2002, Christ the Savior Greek Orthodox Church established a Sunday School. The goal of the Sunday School is to help parents in the formation of their Children in the spirit of Christ and the Orthodox Church.
     The School is small right now. We began with six children in attendance, three assigned teachers and some assistants. In consultation with the Department of Religious Education of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese, we have purchased materials for an age-adjusted curriculum. In addition, we have purchased supplies for crafts and other projects associated with the lessons.
     The classes meet in a large airy and well lighted building, which has served as a dining room in the past.
     The children attend the Divine Liturgy with their parents. Before Holy Communion is offered the Priest talks to the children for a few minutes, giving them a message from the Bible, the traditions of the Orthodox Church, or from contemporary life. Following Holy Communion, the children leave Church with the teachers and assistants and go to the hall for their lesson. Each child receives some cookies and juice before the lesson begins.
     When the Divine Liturgy, the Sermon and any occasional services (such as a memorial service), the adults go to the Parish Hall for coffee and fellowship. When the lesson is over, the children go to the Parish Hall to meet with their parents.
     In this way, we try to respond to our Lord's command to proclaim the Gospel, beginning with our own children and grandchildren.
