We at All Saints have always valued our Children and have supported them in their faith. This past Summer the lower church school leaders met to plan for this coming year. Those discussions lead to a realization that we need YOU, the parents, family members and parishioners to provide a safe, engaging and spiritual place for all children.
We are introducing the Children’s Christian Formation Co-Operative (CCF) Co-op during the Fall of 2007 to facilitate that involvement. Our structure is simple. There is presently a CCF Board made up of teachers and volunteers that share the work of organizing, staffing and planning for the various activities and events that the children participate in throughout the school year. We are asking you to make a commitment to helping us and become a member of the Co-op. We are really excited for the coming church school year and are looking forward to working with you.
You may be familiar with Co-op’s in terms of traditional children’s schooling where a time commitment was required for enrollment. We don’t envision the CCF in such strict terms. Each Sunday, all children are welcome to attend Sunday school but we ask that if you enroll your child that you consider joining the spirit of a Co-op; that this Sunday school runs with the cooperation of parents, teachers and the parish as a whole. Beyond parents of young children, all members of the parish are invited to be a part of the CCF Co-op; it is an opportunity to live the promise made at baptisms to support these children in their life in Christ.
There are many areas in which you can fulfill that commitment:
We are looking forward to implementing our new Co-operative model but cannot do it without your help and participation. Let’s make this a success!
