There are now 144 students registered in the church school. Things are going very well. During November, preparation for the Christmas Pageant will begin. Fortunately, Rusty Booth has volunteered to direct the pageant again this year making it his sixth pageant. He has done such an outstanding job throughout the years. Thank you so very much Rusty for helping again this year!

The Pageant will be held on Sunday, December 11 at 4:00 pm in the Church. The dress rehearsal will be Saturday, December 10 from 10:00 am until 12:00 noon. This rehearsal is for Kindergarteners through eighth grade students.

Starting November 13, the fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students will be rehearsing during class time. It is very important that the students who have speaking parts be present every Sunday. If a child must miss a rehearsal, please advise Rusty or Frances Sessums. The preschool through third grade students will continue with Godly Play studies, and practice their parts during class time. The seventh and eighth grade students will be writing and rehearsing an introduction for the pageant as well as continuing their study of the Sunday’s liturgy during their class time. Senior high students will continue with their study of the day’s liturgy.

If anyone is interested in viewing or discussing the Church School curriculum, please contact Frances Sessums at 703-339-6572.
