Church Programs at Saint David's Episcopal Church in Friday Harbor, WA

Sunday School classes are taught to all age groups from pre-school to adults. Except for the summer months, these classes meet on Sunday mornings. The children's class meets in Gryphon Hall from 10:00 Am-11:10. We use a curriculum called "Godly Play" and our teachers are terrific ! Godly Play is a method of Christian education for children. The goal is to teach children by using religious language-parable, sacred story, silence, and liturgical action-to help them become more fully aware of the mystery of God’s presence in their lives.

Inquirer's class will begin this Fall. This class is designed to help the inquirer learn more about the Christian Faith, as it has been interpreted by the Episcopal Church in its nearly two thousand years of history, beginning with the early church.
The Adult Forum meets from 9:15-10:15 Sunday Mornings and offers thought-provoking discussions usually centered around a theme or book. Topics have covered a wide range of issues and concerns. This year the Inquirer's class will be integrated as part of the Adult Forum.
