Union Church of Bay Ridge

The Sunday School curriculum is based on the Scripture readings for that day in Sunday worship

(a.k.a. the "Revised Common Lectionary paired readings ")

What is the lectionary?  Click here to read about it.

For your future convenience, there is a link to "Sunday and Festival" lectionary readings right on our home page,

but, since you are all the way here now, click here. 

And now, here are the resources for the curriculum itself.

these contain the extra articles and other material that are outside the lesson plans.   Some of you prefer to make your own plans, and these things may be helpful. Also...

Children always respond well to whatever is close to the teacher's heart.  If there is a Bible verse or a topic that you are thinking about lately, you can always build a lesson plan on that.  Speak to the pastor about resources; helping you with resources is one of the things she is trained to do.
