Sunday School
Welcome to St. George Sunday School
Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God, Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it. (Mark 10:14-15)
Our Mission
The mission of our St. George Orthodox Sunday School is to educate and foster our children to have a deep and close relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ together with his Father and his all-Holy Spirit. We aim to encourage the children and their families to live their faith by studying the Holy Bible and Orthodox Christian teachings; supporting the church by volunteering their time, talents and treasure as good stewards in fellowship, and developing close, lasting relationships through which they can support with one another in their lifelong journey with Jesus Christ.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)
"Be the Light: Living God's Love in the World"
We are excited for Sunday School to begin Sept 21st! This year’s theme is “Be the Light: Living God’s Love in the World” (Matthew 5:14–16), reminding us that no matter how small our actions may seem, they have the power to share Christ’s love in school, at home, and with friends.
We welcome you to join Presbytera Petula Pantels and Mrs. Athena Snarskis EACH Sunday for Preschool through High School throughout the year from Sept to May, even if your family is visiting for the day.
Special lesson dates are also planned once a month with Mrs Alex Pappas and Ms Nicole Nasser assisting. Each session will include a way for students to add their voice to our bulletin board project, so everyone can be part of the journey! We look forward to a blessed year together with your children!
