Summer Youngster Teachers
Our 2023 summer theme is “Fruit of the Spirit”. There will be an optional “kickoff” lesson on Sunday, June 4, during the regular Youngster class time for all summer teachers.
As a teacher, you will read a children’s story or two and then discuss it with the Youngsters on Sundays during the service. You can also enjoy a fruit-themed snack (sometimes it’s popsicles; sometimes it’s actual fruit. Either way, it will be provided unless you want to bring your own “something” to share!).
You can pick stories around the week’s theme, or ask us for suggestions. In the summer, all Youngsters are together! Everyone enjoys being read to, and generally the older students do a good job helping take care of the younger members. Class time ends with loosely-structured outdoor playtime.
We have lots of art and craft materials if you’d like to lead a creative activity. Let us know what supplies will be needed for class, and we’ll have them ready for you on Sunday!
You can use the online form to sign up to teach or write your name on the poster at church. If you have any questions, please contact Nancy at youngsters@houseofmercy.org
