Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church is thrilled to kick off the 2006-2007 school year with a combined event on Sunday, September 10th including an Open House for Honey Tree Early Childhood Center, an outreach program of Holy Trinity, and its Village Bible School “Rally Day” registration event. Both events will be held in conjunction with Holy Trinity’s annual end-of-summer Ice Cream Social.

Honey Tree begins its 34th year under leadership of a new director, Calla Chevalier. Classes range from 3 year old through kindergarten. Honey Tree Open House will take place from 1:00 until 4:00PM. All are welcome.

Sunday School registration begins in the courtyard at 9:30AM and continues through the Ice Cream Social event, which will include a hot dog lunch for $2 each, an ice cream sundae buffet for $1 each, and free crafts, games, water play, and a jolly jumper. The Ice Cream Social will begin at 11:00AM and last until 4:00PM. Dress comfortably, and bring your sunscreen!

Village Sunday school’s education theme will center on “Living Wet”, a reflection and celebration of baptismal living. New families are encouraged to come join the fun and ask questions at the registration desk.

“Holy Trinity’s Village Sunday School program features a different theme each year,” says Rose Egertson, Director of Children’s Ministry. “Our new theme of “Living Wet” will lend itself well to teaching children about familiar Bible stories and relating them to their lives in fun and meaningful ways.” And as always, each class session will be a fun experience with story time, discussion, crafts, snacks, and songs.

Village Sunday School was named based on the African proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child”, and HTLC encourages families and congregations to participate in a variety of ways. Classes are from ages 4 years to 6th grade.

Honey Tree Early Childhood Center is accredited by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs, a division of the National Association for the Education of Young Children. NAEYC is the nation’s largest organization of early childhood educators. Accredited schools have complied with the Academy’s criteria for high quality early childhood programs through a comprehensive process of internal self-study and external professional review.
Honey Tree registration for fall 2006 is almost complete. There are a few openings in some classes. You may visit Honey Tree’s website at: www.myhoneytree.com.
