Loving Father, please bless our students in the year ahead. We ask that you make their minds teachable and their hearts open to receive Your word. Bless them with health and safety, not only while in our care, but always. Fill our hearts with the joy of sharing Your love with them and grant us wisdom, patience, and the resources we need to serve You through our teaching. Amen.
Snow coated the ground just in time for our Sunday School children to present their Christmas program. The students entertained us with classic carols such as "Do You Hear What I Hear," "Silent Night" and even "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer."
Congratulations to Linda Soper-Kolton, Sunday School Superintendent, and her teachers Mary Olteanu and Claudia Epure for all their hard work creating this special program. Thank you to our choir director, Ms. Daniella Babu-Geer, for leading the children in song and the choir for providing vocal support.

Our Sunday School hosted a fall bonfire on November 11. The rain held off and everyone had a great time connecting with friends and making s'mores. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.
October has been a joyful and busy month in Sunday School!
We began our new year on October 5 with a special back-to-school blessing from Father George, bringing students, families, and teachers together to start the year in prayer. Afterward, teachers welcomed both returning and new students and introduced our exciting new curriculum.
Throughout October, each class explored lessons that build a strong foundation for faith and worship. Though the topics varied by age, our shared themes focused on growing in reverence during church, learning essential prayers, understanding what we believe as Orthodox Christians through the Nicene Creed, and beginning to explore the holy mysteries of Communion and Confession. We’re so grateful for the enthusiasm and curiosity our students bring each week. It’s a blessing to see their faith growing through prayer, learning, and fellowship.
We look forward to another wonderful month together!
A brand-new Sunday School year begins Sunday, October 5.
We’re excited to journey with your child as we explore the beauty, depth, and joy of our Orthodox Christian faith together.
Under Father Alexander’s guidance, we’re developing a new three-year curriculum for all students. Over this time, your child will gain a strong foundation in the teachings, traditions, and stories of our faith— each year building on the last to deepen their understanding and strengthen their relationship with Christ and His Church.
Every class includes prayer, engaging stories, hands-on activities, and meaningful discussions tailored to your child’s age. Our goal is to inspire not only knowledge but a genuine love for God, His Church, and the Orthodox faith.
We welcome children from grades Pre-K through 8th grade and our teachers are:
- Pre-K - 2nd - Mariana Olteanu
- 3rd - 5th - Linda Kolton
- 6th - 8th - Claudia Epure
Contact Linda Kolton at Lsoper123@gmail.com for a registration form or more information.
Sunday School is cool—register your children soon!
During Sunday School, our older students learned about their named saints.
