There will be a virtual children’s class streaming live to Saint Matthew’s Facebook page every Sunday except the third Sunday at 11:15 a.m.
We also created the “Son Shine Club” Facebook group where we upload the lessons and the craft sheets for parents or grandparents and their children to download and work on them. This class welcomes all kids, including kids beyond our church community.
Rev. Jetty and Rev. Martha. are committed to this service and include young adults, mid-career adults, credentialed teachers, parents and grandparents.
Based on an excellent published series designed for children from ages 4-7 and 8-12, its content follows the traditional catholic liturgical year. We will use age- appropriate DVD films of scripture stories, along with age-appropriate learning activities or crafts, music, and snacks.
