Sunday School

Sunday School resumes on September 13th at 10am. Toddlers upstairs in St. Mark's Chapel during the service while supervised by parents. Godly Play program meets downstairs. We are always looking for volunteers. Christ Church San Marcos: 43 S Broadway, Tarrytown, NY

The programming for our children and youth is a vital and lively ministry at CCSM!

We consider our youngest parishioners to be full and valuable members of our church and we strive to offer opportunities for children of all ages to take part in classes and services.

Our Children’s Corner in St. Mark’s Chapel is a safe and child-friendly area for those not yet ready to join a class away from their parents. There is space to move around, art supplies and toys as well as crafts and story pieces from our Godly Play curriculum; parents can stay with their children while still participating in the prayers and the congregation loves to hear the young ones’ excited voices pipe up during the service!

As the children grow more comfortable with a classroom environment, they are welcome to join  more structured lessons. Our Sunday School is held during the 10am service during the academic year. . Godly Play is a Montessori-based curriculum that invites children to explore their faith through interactive storytelling, “wondering” and response time through arts and crafts. It is a unique way for children to enter into and experience the Bible stories. At the end of class, the children rejoin the congregation to take part in the Eucharist, either with their classmates or with their parents.

Children that are interested, will be given opportunities to become acolytes or to read and serve at the altar.

For any children not comfortable with these arrangements, families are always welcome to sit together in the pew of their choice. There are coloring supplies available in the narthex if so desired.

The whole parish at Christ Church San Marcos endeavors to cherish and support our children in their spiritual and daily lives. We send our children back to school in September with a special Blessing of the Backpacks and end our Sunday School year in June with a picnic and awards ceremony. Other highlights of the year include our Easter Egg Hunt and Christmas Pageant  – children of ALL ages welcome to join in (tinsel halos provided for all!).
