Children’s Sunday School is back, starting Sunday, September 17th! 

We invite children ages 2-to-10 years old to join us for Sunday School every Sunday after our Celebration! Service from 9:50-10:30 AM. We will be reading Bible stories, making crafts, singing songs, and learning about how to share Christ’s love to the world.

  • We are planning additional Children’s Education activities outside of Sunday School for the fall and winter and we will keep you posted on upcoming gatherings.

  • Children’s Education Survey: We’d love to hear what parents of young children are looking for in Sunday School and Children’s Education at FPC by filling out our survey.

Become a Sunday School Volunteer! We’d love to have you volunteer with our children’s Sunday School program. If you are interested in helping lead Sunday School with Pastor Laura a Sunday or two a month or if you have any questions about or dreams for Children’s Education at FPC, please contact Laura Colee.

Earth Walk

Join us for the 2023 Earth Walk on Saturday, May 6 at the Morris Arboretum & Gardens.  This event is jointly sponsored by the Children’s and Adult Christian Education committees.  The arboretum is a 92-acre public garden located in Chestnut Hill. Originally a private estate, the arboretum maintains forested paths and gardens and supports environmental conservation and education.  FPC member Jeannie Boehner will lead a nature walk geared to children, but open to everyone. Or you may walk and explore at your own pace.  If you have not been to the Morris Arboretum, this will be a great opportunity to enjoy a unique open space in Philadelphia. 

Please register, selecting the appropriate registration type for yourself and those in your party; the Christian Education Committee will purchase tickets for the arboretum in advance.
