This material is intended for use by parents/caregivers and Sunday School teachers in areas where regular Sunday School materials are not as available. The intention is that the lesson will take about 30 minutes to get through. The lesson will go up on two weeks before the Sunday that it is to be used. If you would like more information or some help please contact Fiona Brownlee.
We are interested in hearing how this project is meeting your needs and what we can do to improve the weekly lessons, so feel free to contact Fiona at anytime.

Ce programme est développé pour les parents ainsi que les enseignants d'écoles du dimanche qui œuvrent sans matériel de base. Les leçons sont développées pour durer environ 30 minutes. Nous prévoyons mettre le matériel en ligne en anglais le mardi, et en français le mercredi ou le jeudi précédant le dimanche-cible.

Nous souhaitons savoir comment ce projet répond à vos attentes et comment nous pouvons l'améliorer.

Pour de plus amples informations sur ce projet ou pour aider à sa réalisation, veuillez contacter Fiona Brownlee.
Pour tout commentaire, suggestion ou soutien sur la version française, veuillez contacter Michel Gagnon.

Background material
In case you are wondering, like almost all Anglican parishes in our diocese, St. James is an English-speaking parish, and our adult population speak English either as their mother tongue or as their preferred language in Canada... with a few exceptions like my wife and I. But younger people are more fluent in French, and all our children speak much better French than English. Hence except when we have visitors, most or all our Church School happens in French. We use material coming from Seasons of the Spirit, the Virtual Church School Project and exercises that come from these and various other sources.
