Sixth and Seventh Grade Program
For the 2011/2012 year,
we have designed a unique program that is sure to challenge and change the way teens view religious education. We are
moving all students out of the classroom and into a youth ministry model. Please note that our class sessions
has been maximize to a restricted number of [80] Youths per session.
The program will
feature:
- Large group icebreaker games
- Speakers
- Multi-media presentations
- Prayer services
- Music
It will be fun, engaging and
most of all a new way to learn and connect with their faith. The middle school program will be based on a semester approach.
There will be 6 two hour sessions from September to December and 6 sessions from March to June (except Tuesday
session ends in May). Both 6th and 7th grade students will be together during these sessions. We have designed
a three year semester cycle including the 8th Grade Program as the 3rd year, so no sessions will ever be repeated by any child.
