Sunday School of Sts. Peter and Paul Greek Orthodox Church

Welcomes You to the 2016-2017 school year!

Our goal is to make Sunday mornings a fun learning experience for the children. We hope to accomplish this through age-appropriate crafts, songs, discussion and group activities and attending the Divine Liturgy.  Living our faith begins with the family.  Please lead your children in prayer, make the  sign of the cross together, pray  the Lord’s Prayer, the Creed, etc. at home and as we reinforce this at Sunday School.
