TEACHERS NEEDED!! An important message regarding the need for teachers in Sunday School. We need volunteers to come forth and fill the teaching positions listed below. Consider giving two Sundays a month to the children of our church. Remember we all need to be part of our children's Christian journey. We have some individuals who have been teaching our children for 10, 15 and even 20 years. Please think about teaching for one year. Curriculum, supplies and teacher training are provided. Alternate week teaching is encouraged. If you know of anyone who would be interested, please pass this message on. Please contact Sybil at christianed.drcc@snet.net with questions or to volunteer! Classes needing Sunday School teachers:
3rd grade ~ need TWO teachers

GO GREEN at DRCC Our Sunday School will be heading up DRCC's recycling program. Blue recycling bins have been placed throughout the church, including the narthex, Sunday School classrooms and offices. All paper, including colored, along with catalogs, magazines, cardboard, plastic and tin now go in one container. In the parking lot next to the All Waste trash dumpster, you will see a smaller dumpster marked "Single Stream Recycling" in which we will put our recyclables in. Make sure that NO recyclables go in the large dumpster - that is strictly for trash only! And visa versa - no trash in the single stream recycling dumpster! When having a fundraiser dinner, please recycle all that you can to include pasta & brownie mix boxes, plastics and tins. Bins are located under the sink. Join us and help the church go GREEN ! See Sybil with any questions.

Continuing the efforts of our Sunday School children, we are constantly looking for ways to go green! Feel free to print these documents at home or keep it on your computer for reference.
SUNDAY SCHOOL PARENTS TAKE NOTE:
Class Aides The Board of Christian Education implemented a policy to comply with the guidelines of DRCC's Safe Church, which states there needs to be two adults in the classroom at all times. In order to obtain coverage, all parents will be required to sign up for at least two Sundays during the Church year to be a Class Aide. Bring your calendar to registration and select Sundays that work with your schedule. If it turns out you can't be there on a Sunday that you signed up for, you may switch with another parent or ask a member of our congregation to fill in for you.
We also encourage all members of our congregation to be involved in our Sunday School by volunteering a Sunday or two in the class of your choice!
Room Partners
Room Partners will be responsible for sending out monthly e-mail reminders to Class Aides of their upcoming week and to send out "MissYou" cards to those children who have been absent for more than three weeks in a row. Postcards and stamps will be provided.
SUNDAY SCHOOL COOKBOOKS
Our Sunday School Cookbooks, to celebrate the 175th Anniversary of our church, are still available. There is 515 recipes from our Sunday School families, Sunday School teachers and Church members, including a gluten free section, Martha Beaudoin's sweet treats and of course a kids creation section. They are always available for purchase in Sybil's office or by seeing Kris during the week. We will also be selling in the fellowship hall on select Sundays. Parents, be sure to pick up a copy! Each child in the Sunday School from Nellie Prann Room on up, wrote their name on the back of the section dividers so they would all be part of this keepsake!!
Teen Issues We are very proud to offer classes for high school age youths at our church. This class focuses on current topics and issues facing teenagers today in a relaxed atmosphere. They also work on mission projects and activities of their choice, which are decided upon and carried out as a group. This class meets every Sunday at 10:15 am in the Upper Room with Nancy Peluso, Andrea Chiappa and Ben Chiappa as your teachers.
Youth Communion Service
Youth Communion Services will take place at 10:00 am on the first Sunday of the month in the Upper Fellowship Hall. Music, readings and partaking of the elements are all part of this 15 minute service done largely in part by the youth of our Church. This service is for the 5th through 12th grade and the teachers of our Sunday School. The 4th grade class will join us after they receive their First Communion on Maundy Thursday.
Confirmation Class Confirmation is the process of preparing for membership in our Church as an adult, as well as the completion of a process begun for many when they were baptized. As part of that promise made by their parents, children attend Sunday School and learn about God’s presence. Confirmation gives young adults the opportunity to accept those promises for themselves. We open Confirmation to those in 9th grade and older, to learn about the Church of which they are a part of and to talk about the ideas and realities that will affect their whole life. Classes start in September and Confirmands will be able to pick a mentor of their choice. See our Confirmation Class web page for more information.
