Feasting on the Word (for First-Fifth Graders)
Feasting on the Word is a new resource based on the Common Lectionary, a yearly cycle of scripture readings and psalms used by many churches, including Westminster, to provide regular exposure to the whole range of the Bible in worship and especially in preaching. Everyone explores the same Bible passage every week—making it easy for families to learn and live out their faith together. Feasting on the Word provides connections between Church School and worship, invites children into the rhythm of the church year, encourages faithful Christian living and action, promotes lifelong spiritual formation, and incorporates various learning styles.
Grades 1-2: “Am I welcome here”? — 1st floor, Room 210
These young learners are moving out from their families to explore the worlds of school and church. They will share learning experiences that proclaim: You are welcome here! You belong to God and to this church family! Making the most of their love of stories, children will explore scripture in ways that engage their senses, their emerging skills in reading and writing, and their need to learn by doing.
Teachers: Charity Haines, Adrienne Kim Bird, Carolyn Brown, Terri Perkins
Grades 3-4: “What does it mean to belong here”?
3rd Grade – 1st Floor, Room 209
4th Grade – 1st Floor, Room 204
Third and fourth graders are growing in their desire to join teams and organizations; these older children will share learning experiences that address the many ways scripture shapes the identity of members of the body of Christ. Encouraging their love of questions and capitalizing on their desire to feel competent in their academic skills, these children will use their Bibles to dig into the stories of faith and share them with others.
Teachers for 3rd Grade: Crystal Steger-Smith, Charlotte McDaniel, Jim Roche, Alyce Outlaw
Teachers for 4th Grade: Angie Brannock, Mark Rabideau, Christa Livermon, Debbie Cowles
