Welcome to the EGCC Sunday School Registration process!  There are two parts to this process:  This page (the Sunday School Covenant) and the next page (the Registration Form).  You will be automatically directed to the Registration Form page when you click the "submit" button at the bottom of this page.   

Sunday School Covenant

2011 - 2012

Before electronically signing below, we ask you, the parent(s), to read this over carefully with your child(ren) .  Additionally, we ask you to please discuss with your child(ren) why you choose to bring them to the Sunday Morning Spiritual Formation classes (usually known as Sunday School). 

Purpose of EGCC Sunday Morning Spiritual Formation: The purpose of EGCC Sunday Morning Spiritual Formation is, with God’s help and in community, to teach and learn the stories of the Christian faith, to pray, worship and play together, and to equip and support the building of relationships with God and with each other.

Expectations students, teachers, and shepherds agree to follow within the context of the Purpose of Sunday School:  We are here to teach and learn the stories in the Bible, and to build relationships with each other and with God.  We agree to participate in the teaching and learning of these stories by listening, asking questions and doing the activities.  By doing these things, we will also get to know each other and God better.  If we choose to not participate, then we agree to not interrupt or distract in any way, because we understand that we would then be stopping others from listening, asking questions, doing the activities and getting to know each other and God better. 

Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we make mistakes.  Sometimes, we don’t even know we have made a mistake.  So we need each other to help remind us of what we have agreed to do.  Sometimes, we keep making the same mistake over and over and we need help to change that mistake.  These are the ways that the teachers and shepherds will try and help if you make a mistake:

1. We’ll let you know if you are interrupting or disrupting others who are in class and ask you to choose to help the class and not hurt it by interrupting.

2.  If you have a hard time stopping yourself from disrupting others from learning or teaching after being reminded to stop, then you’ll be removed from the activity, to give you some time to think about how you can best rejoin the class and participate.  After class, someone will tell your Mom or Dad that it was a challenging day for you, but that you did well to come back in and rejoin the class.

3.  If you rejoin the class and still struggle with interrupting others, then we’ll have you leave the class and stay with adult supervision for the rest of the class time.  After class, someone will tell your Mom or Dad that it was a hard day for you and why it was hard, but that next week we know that you’ll do better.

4.  If the next week is the same as the previous week, then you, your parent(s), the Superintendent and/or a church staff member will all sit down and discuss the challenges you are facing and ways that we can best help you with those challenges.
