Sunday School
Sunday School is devoted to Orthodox Christian education (catechesis). The purpose of this is to help build up the Church, the Body of Christ by nurturing every person in the life of personal communion with the Holy Trinity (Troitsa). Being only a part of the total life of the Church, Orthodox Christian education is effective in the context of living faith in the home and the church.
School Year Begins:
3rd Sunday in September and ends: 2nd Sunday of June of each year
Attendance:
All students in our Sunday School Program should be in Church for worship
at 10:00 a.m. They are expected to sit with their Sunday School classes and participate in a respectful manner during the Divine Liturgy.Class ends (approximately 11:00 am).
The Sunday School aims to:
- instruct our children to learn about their faith in Christ, the truth of the Bible and our Orthodox teachings.
- cultivate in the hearts of our children a strong character with high moral values.
- to cultivate in our children a deeper love and respect for their parents, their families and society in general
- provide a sense of community and develop a Christian identity which form the armour for being a Christian within society

Challenge of the lord's prayer
| I cannot say OUR if I live only for myself.
I cannot say FATHER if I do not endeavor each day to act like His child. I cannot say WHO ART IN HEAVEN if I am laying up no treasure there. I cannot say HALLOWED BY THY NAME if I am not striving for holiness. I cannot say THY KINGDOM COME if I am not doing all in my power to hasten that wonderful event. I cannot say THY WILL BE DONE if I am disobedient to His word. I cannot say ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN if I will not serve Him here and now. I cannot say GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD if I am dishonest or seeking things by subterfuge. I cannot say FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES if I harbor a grudge against anyone. I cannot say LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION if I deliberately place myself in its path. I cannot say DELIVER US FROM EVIL if I do not put on the whole armor of God. I cannot say THINE IS THE KINGDOM if I do not give the King the loyalty due Him from a faithful subject. I cannot say THE POWER if I fear what others may do. I cannot say THE GLORY if I am seeking honor only for myself. I cannot say FOREVER if the horizon of my life is bounded by the things of today.

The Creed
THE NICENE CREED
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible;
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only-begotten, Begotten of the Father before all worlds, Light of Light, Very God of Very God, Begotten, not made; of one essence with the Father, by whom all things were made: Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and was made man; And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried; And the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; And ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father; And He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, Whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, and Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father, Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, Who spake by the Prophets;
And I believe in One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins.
I look for the Resurrection of the dead, And the Life of the world to come. Amen.
