OUR CHILDREN ATTEND SUNDAY SCHOOLНАША ДЕЦА НА ЧАСОВИМА ВЕРОНАУКЕ SUNDAY SCHOOL- НЕДЕЉНА ШКОЛА
What a wonderful sight to see! Our Sunday School children marching into church with smiles on their faces at 11:30 a.m. on that first Sunday of our new Sunday School for children ages 2 through 6. With large cardboard Orthodox Crosses worn as necklaces, they proudly came forward to cross themselves and kiss the icon. Then they took their seat in the front pew.
When Slodoban and Eileen Stanisic proposed the idea of beginning Sunday School for our children, Father Petar and the Board members were excited. After some research for religious materials and curriculum planning, they held the first class on Sunday, February 3rd.
Attending were Sophia and Alek Stanisic, children of Eileen and Slobodan Stanisic; Peter, Nicholas and George Bradbury, children of Nada and Peter Bradbury; and Marko Petrovic, son of Lidija and Dusan Petrovic. Classes continued on February 17th and February 24th. Michael Thompson, son of Aleksandra and James Thompson, attended subsequent class.
Classes, held in our Church Hall, include stories read to the children, some educational crafts and a snack. As furniture and other materials are still being assembled, the Bradbury Family donated chairs for the children. The Stanisic Family will donate a table. Slobodan and Eileen will continue to gather educational materials. Should anyone wish to make a donation toward our Sunday School, please call or see Fr. Petar.
Dates for Sunday School in January 2010 are: January 3rd, 10th, 17th: Please check the Monthly Church Calendar for dates in subsequent months.
We very much appreciate Slobodan and Eileen coming forth to begin this important part of our Orthodox Church.
THANK YOU AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU.Nancy Helbich
ХРИСТОС ВАСКРСЕ, ДЕЦО!
Кад пред зору васкрсењску
Са храмова звона брује,
Све звездице затрепере,
Јер до неба чак се чује.
Анђели се спусте ниже,
Па шапућу ти`о, ти`о:
"Шта је ово?... је ли Господ
Рај на земљу преместио
И доношаху к Њему децу да их се дотакне; а ученици брањаху онима што их доношаху.
А Исус видевши расрди се и рече им: Пустите децу нека долазе к мени, и не браните им; јер је таквих царство Божје.
Заиста вам кажем: који не прими царство Божје као дете, неће ући у њега.
И загрливши их метну на њих руке те их благослови.
Мк. 10, 13-16
A CHILD'S PRAYER
(Morning)
Lord Jesus, I thank You for the gift of this new day. When You came to earth for us, You grew as a child in wisdom and grace. As Lord You received children in Your arms. You blessed them and said that Your kingdom belongs to them. Dear Jesus, receive me also on this day and hear my morning prayer.Bless my parents, teachers and all those who love and care for me.Bless me, also, and protect me from danger and evil. Give me the strength to be truthful, honest, kind and helpful to others.Guide me to grow in grace and wisdom as a member of Your kingdom.
You are my Lord and King, and to You I give praise and thanks forever. Amen.
A CHILD'S PRAYER (Evening)
Jesus, my Lord, You received the children who came to You.
Receive me also, Your child, and hear my evening prayer.
Protect me under the shelter of Your wings,that I may sleep in peace.
And awaken me in the morning, that I may glorify You, my loving Lord. Amen.
