Nursery Sunday School at Saint Francis Time: 9:45 am Ages of Children: Toddler/2-year old (1 by 8/31), 3-year old (3 by 8/31), 4-year old (4 by 8/31) Type of Curriculum: Hearing stories about Christian themes is the focus for the Older toddler/2's. Over the course of the year, children are exposed to storybooks about Jesus, Animals, Family, Love, Sharing, and others. To supplement these stories, children will color and be engaged in conversation about these themes with the nursery staff and church servants. The Bible is the key resource for Rock Solid. Along with a Bible Storybook, preschoolers and Kindergarteners can enjoy and learn about the stories of the Christian faith. The lessons are broken down into three parts: 1. Arrival Fun. 2. Bible Story Time. 3. Live God's Word.
Elementary Sunday School at Saint Francis Time: 9:45 am Ages: Kindergarten - 5th grades Type of Curriculum: From September to May, Saint Francis uses the exciting, PowerXpress rotation curriculum to explore a Bible story for multiple weeks.

At 10 am students are escorted to their weekly Bible station such as: Art, Drama and Storytelling, Music and Movement, Bible Skills and Games, Cooking and Video.
