Christian Education

Let the little children come unto me. -- Mark 10:14 Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
-- Ps 127:3-5

Mission

It is the mission of the Christian Education Department of the Colebrook Congregational Church to teach our children through the word of God how to serve their family, their church, and their community both at home and abroad. We have been called by God to minister to all people through acts of love and kindness. It is our mission to prepare our children as the next generation of the Colebrook Congregational Church.

Sunday School

Sunday School is before Church Service from 9:30 – 10:15. Sunday School begins with a sermon from Pastor Alice, the Lord’s Prayer and an offering that the children bring to the altar with the Deacons. The children then go to their classrooms where we use a grade style curriculum, Bible Quest, from Cokesbury. The classes are broken out into the following grades: Preschool, K-1, 2-3, and 4-6 with Confirmation classes beginning October 9, 2005 with Pastor Alice. The children are welcome to join the congregation for Church Service following Sunday School.
