Preschool Class

The 3 and 4 year olds will be using the “Growing in Grace and Gratitude” curriculum developed by our denomination, PC(USA). The key Bible stories that the children will hear are similar to those in any church curriculum, but how the session unfolds reveals the grace of God and our gracious response.

Bible Explorer’s Workshop

Classes for Kindergarten through 5th graders
We will continue to use Deep Blue—A Weekly Adventure Through the Bible! In a rotational learning setting, the same Bible story is taught for several weeks. Each week, learners rotate to a different station. The story remains the same, but the children encounter it in different ways in each station. Repetition is an important part of Deep Blue!

Dan Kerr, attorney and previous educator at Hastings College and the University of Kansas, will be leading the Senior High Class (9th – 12th grade). They will meet downstairs in the Great Room.

Dear Families of Presbyterian Church of the Cross,
I hope this email finds you well. As we strive to continuously improve our Christian Education programming, we have observed a concerning trend of declining participation among families with school-aged children. Your input and feedback are crucial in guiding us towards revitalizing and enhancing our programs to better meet the needs of our children and families.
To gain a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities we face, we have developed a brief survey. Whether you are actively engaged in our programs or not, we urge you to participate honestly. Your responses will provide invaluable insights into how we can better support the spiritual growth and development of our children.
Your candid feedback will help our Christian Education Committee tailor programs and initiatives that resonate with the needs and aspirations of our community. Together, we can ensure that our church remains a nurturing environment where our children can flourish in their faith journey.
Please take a few moments to complete the survey linked below
Thank you in advance for your participation and commitment to the future of our church family.
Blessings,
The Christian Education Committee

Palm Sunday Poem

Inspired by the shadows from her palm branch on Palm Sunday, Maya (age 8) traced the shadow and wrote this poem to share with the congregation.
