1st Grade Family Life Milestone

2nd Grade Family Life Milestone

Held on Friday, January 27 at 6:00pm. Families will rotate through learning centers which include:

  • A TREASURE HUNT through the Sanctuary (to discover things and places that make our worship special)
  • THE LORD’S PRAYER puzzle (to learn about prayer and why Jesus gave us a model to follow)
  • Making PRAISE PLACEMATS to take home and use at your dinner table
  • The WHO – WHAT – WHEN – WHERE – WHY game to discover who helps us to worship

We hope that you won’t miss this opportunity to learn and grow along with your children about WORSHIP! This is only offered for 2nd graders at St. Andrew’s; however,  if you miss it this year but have a younger child coming up, you are welcome to come as a family when the younger sibling is in 2nd grade.

Childcare is provided for younger siblings by reservation only. Contact Brieana, 949.574.2220 or to sign up.

3rd Grade Family Life Milestone

4th Grade Family Life Milestone

Held on Friday March 23 and 30 at 6:00pm

Week 1: Through interactive games and activities we will discover answers to questions like: What is a Sacrament? Why do Christian believer’s need to be baptized? What is so important about the water?

Week 2: Again, we will discover answers to questions such as: What is the big deal about communion? Why is communion sometimes called ‘Eucharist’ or ‘The Lord’s Supper’? How is communion done in other church traditions?  How is communion done at our church?

Childcare is available for younger siblings by request only. Dinner will be provided. Contact Brieana at 949.574.2220 or to RSVP.

5th Grade Family Milestone: PFA  

As children approach the age of adolescence, St. Andrew's comes alongside parents and kids to help explore changes kids will be facing physically, as well as emotionally. This 6-week series for kids along with their parent(s), facilitates open communication for many years to come. Mandatory parent orientation and pre-registration is required. This class is held only once a year, beginning in September.

6th Grade Family Life Milestone: Journey To Maturity

In some ways you might look at this course as the ‘traditional’ CONFIRMATION course offered by churches everywhere . . . however, we have chosen to call it something more (because we believe that what we have developed for the children/youth of St. Andrew’s IS something more! – more in keeping with the Biblical model of Christ’s call to discipleship in God’s Kingdom.)
