Elementary Sunday School

First Presbyterian's elementary Sunday School is built around five dynamic, multi-media workshops: The Drama and Puppet Workshop Here children use puppets and interactive drama to learn God's word. This room overflows with props, costumes, backdrops, puppets, and a puppet stage. The Audio-Visual Workshop This room houses real theater seats and a large-screen TV system, and popcorn is offered. Videos and lots of discussion provide powerful images to aid children's understanding of Biblical themes. The Art Workshop Here students create an art project related to the Bible story. The basic principles are enhanced and made more memorable when the students can express themselves creatively through the wide variety of materials available. The Temple Workshop Creative games and projects are the medium for learning in this workshop. A 21 x 12 foot painted mural reproducing the entrance to the temple on one of the walls gives the children the feeling they can sit on the steps leading to the temple as they work. The Bible Computer Lab In this lab setting students work with various Christian software programs to learn the Bible stories as well as receive the reward of playing Bible computer games.

Each week the students go to a different workshop until they have had an opportunity to participate in each workshop available for that theme.
