Sunday School: Hunger Awareness, Empathy, Understanding Prejudice, and Much More

Our Sunday School provides ethical education for children of all ages. The 2019 class themes are “Exploring the Self: Who Am I” (primary); “Around the World” (elementary); “Learning about Conflict Resolution” (juniors); and “Prejudice and Stereotypes” (seniors). Events that offer children an opportunity to put learning into action include the Oxfam Hunger Banquet, the fundraiser for Ugandan orphans, the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, the Haiti Packathon, Community Weekend, and much more.

Samantha Stankiewicz, director of ethical education, invites children and their parents to get acquainted with our Sunday School, which meets every Sunday from 11 am to 12:30 pm.
