Our GoalsStudy – Our 3 year curriculum map works young people through a list of 100 Things Every Child Should Know before Confirmation (by Rebecca Kirkpatrick). At the end of the year, students should be familiar with the stories of each unit,know where to find these stories in the Bible, andpractice thinking critically and with curiosity about these storiesWorship – In FaithMakers, and in worship, we introduce and practice the various arts of worship – praying, singing our faith, reading Scripture, and engaging God in an embodied and creative way (through art and play). Service – We do not grow our faith in order to keep it to ourselves, but instead build our faith through acts of love and service (Matthew 25:40). In the 2018-2019 year, we have scheduled five days of service as well as participation in a Presbytery-wide week of service (home repair and construction in Maine).Fellowship – It’s really important to have fun together!! And, through these fun times, we model for everyone how togreet and welcome new people into the fold, and care for each other. Every SundayFaithMakers – 9:30am – 10:20am, with Breakfast (9:00am), Music, Play, Art, and Study. Sitting still and being quiet the whole time (like at school) is discouraged, and showing up late is better than not at all!Fall Unit – History of Israel (10 Sundays)Advent/Epiphany Unit – Gospel of Luke (6 Sundays)Ordinary (Winter) Unit – Acts of the Apostles (8 Sundays)Lenten Unit – The Sacraments (6 Sundays)Easter Unit – Apocalypse Now: Daniel & Revelation (7 Sundays)Ordinary (Summer) Unit – Church 101 (3 Sundays)Summer Unit – Life of Jesus (7 Sundays)Ordinary (Late Summer) Unit – Christian, yet Interfaith (4 Sundays)September 20182 - Communion7-9 Church Retreat at Camp Wilmot16 – FaithMakers Sunday School Pancake Breakfast23 – First Sunday of FaithMakers – History of Israel (10 Sundays)30 – Jubilee + PotluckOctober 20181 – All People’s Bowling (7pm, Boston Bowl)7 - Communion*21 – FaithMakers Day of Service28 – All Saints Day/Reformation Day, PotluckNovember 20184 – Communion (Daylight Saving Time Ends)18 – Thanksgiving Sunday (& celebrating youth organizer work), Potluck25 – Bible Sunday – FaithMakers Participants get new BiblesDecember 20182 – FaithMakers - Gospel of Luke (6 Sundays); Advent Craft Party (after worship)15 – Christmas Concert*16 – FaithMakers Day of Service22 – Gingerbread Party23 – Christmas Craft Party (after worship)24 – Christmas Eve Pageant30 – FaithMakers - No Sunday SchoolJanuary 20196 – Epiphany!
