Jr. Church Lesson

Hello Jr. Church Families!

While we are unable to gather on Sunday mornings, we wanted to send you the highlights of the children’s Jr. Church lessons so that you can use them as a family devotion time if you so choose. Once we resume meeting on Sunday mornings, we will start with whatever lesson is scheduled for that day. So, if you keep up with these weekly lessons at home, then the kids won’t miss anything in the storyline of the curriculum once we meet in person again. Both preschoolers and elementary aged students have the same basic lesson with minor wording differences to help communicate at an age appropriate level. If you have children in both age groups, don’t stress over which wording to use. Just pick one for the whole family.

Also, please ask your children if they have any prayer requests or praises that their Jr. Church teachers can pray about for them (obviously you can pray about them too!). We practice this every week during our small group time. I like to word it like this, “Is there anything you’re happy about that you want to thank God for or anything you’re worried about that you’d like to ask him for help with?” If you would pass along their responses, then I will forward their praises or requests on to the Jr. Church teachers. Please send them, no matter how small or silly they may seem! 

Last but not least, please reach out to myself, Lori Sugano at lorisugano (at) scrantonroad.org , or Mark Ritzman at markritzman (a) scratnonroad.org if you have any questions, need prayer, guidance, encouragement, or help with any physical needs. We love all of you and your children dearly!
