Christian Education

Northminster provides a variety of Christian Education opportunities for children, youth and adults. This year, Christian Education at Northminster Presbyterian Church will follow the Lectionary calendar from the pulpit to Children's Time, to the Sunday Church School classroom for ages 3 through adult. We have adopted "Seasons of the Spirit", a reformed international lectionary-based Church School curriculum that "builds strong faith communities by centering the ministries of Christian education, worship and service around common scriptures each week." Through use of activities, discussion, current events and the arts, we hope to be "on the same page" together each week. You may preview our curriculum at Seasons of the Spirit or by stopping by the Christian Education office.

Church School in March

Both the book of Isaiah and the Season of Lent are about journey. Join the children of the church school as they consider Isaiah 55: 1-9 on March 7. Even at this reflective time, we can celebrate God’s goodness. What ways might the people of Northminster stop, look, and listen for these gifts that God offers to all? On March 14, the children will consider the Parable of the Prodigal Son from Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32. God’s welcome intends to leave no one on the outside looking in. God’s love, grace and welcome are for all. Where should we go with this message? On March 21, all creation reflects God’s fresh workings. In Isaiah 43: 16-21 we learn about the wonderful world God has given us and the possibilities of God’s working among us and through us. On March 28, Palm Sunday, our focus scripture will be Luke 19: 28-40. God’s way bids trusting preparation by those who would follow Jesus. We will talk about celebration and anticipation of where this procession into Jerusalem will lead.

Church School Mission

Many families in our city are hungry. Please join the children of Northminster in bringing protein-rich foods like canned tuna, soup, and peanut butter to church for our food barrel. The Deacons will take these offerings to Westminster Neighborhood Association Food Pantry.
