Sunday Community Teachers

First a huge thank you to the teachers who have volunteered this year!!! They have gone above and beyond with their planning.  

If you are interested in being part of the Sunday Community team for 2015-16 we have a need for a teacher in  the 2nd/3rd grade.  Please let me know if you would like to teach.  Here are more specific details:

  •  Available spot in 2nd & 3rd grade.  
  • Sunday Communities begin at 11:00 AM with the start of Grace Kids Worship.  
  • Sunday Community teachers will sign in their students at the start of Grace Kids Worship and then dismiss with their class at the conclusion of Grace Kids Worship (around 11:15 AM).  
  • Teaching time is from 11:15 AM - 12:00 PM.  You will be on a team with 3 other teachers. 
  • You will have a partner teacher and take turns with preparing/leading the lesson.  
  • Format is 2 weeks with one pair of teachers and 2 weeks with the other pair 
    • (Therefore once a month where one person has to lead and the other time assist, then off for 2 weeks). 
  •  We do not have Sunday Communities on the following days:
    • Sunday following Thanksgiving, 2 weeks at Christmas, a week at Easter, and Memorial Day Weekend.  
  • Please let Julie Best know ASAP if you are interested in helping with the Preschool or  2nd/3rd Grade class (julie@gcpres.org).  
  • One last thing
    • They are  a great group of kids and the new curriculum provides many fun and engaging activities to do with the children!!!!
