Christian
Education
St. Thomas offers a diverse program providing
Christian Education opportunities for all ages. Classes for children 3 and
up are Sunday's at 9:15 a.m. Our purpose is to nurture persons to grow in
love, faith, and grace, equipping them for daily Christian living as they
serve to meet the human needs, hurts and pains; and to provide groups and
opportunities in training and learning experiences using the Bible,
theology, history, and other resources in life situations.
Longer-Later Catechism
Program
"Confirmation is a part of the total
educational process"
Students participate in the
catechism program during the Christian Education Hour every Sunday
morning beginning at age three and continuing through
graduation. However, the program actually begins at
baptism. Various program and "Faith Journey" milestones are marked
throughout the student's life such as receiving the Sacrament of Holy
Communion for the first time in 5th grade and Affirmation of Baptism,
or, Confirmation, after 10th grade. St. Thomas is a strong
supporter of the Faith In the Home initiative and encourages parents to
read the Bible, pray and learn together with their children in the
home.
Vacation Bible School
For those ages 3 and up
is offered each summer in cooperation with St. Paul United Methodist
Church and the Cheboygan Catholic Community.
This year, St. Thomas hosted guests from St.
Paul’s United Methodist Church and the Cheboygan Catholic Community as
well as children who did not have a church home. We pray that a seed of
God’s love for them was planted in their hearts! Everyone had a wonderful
time exploring Nazareth as it was when Jesus was a boy. Thank you, God,
for giving us this opportunity to serve you! Amen!
