Hi Character School Families:
We would like to get some feedback from you, please go to the enclosed link and take the short survey before May 1st, 2009.
A group of parents brought forth the idea to revitalize a pilot program affecting the time of Character School. Nearly 10 years ago, FSC Character School had a pilot program where the time of Character School was changed to 9:45 am -10:45 am. The pilot program was successful within the CS as it increased volunteers, both parent and non-parents and also increased participation in the adult learning on Sunday mornings. Children would have supervised activities during the adult service from 11:00 am -12:15 pm.
What are your thoughts - please let us know.
Thanks.
Your Education Team

Character School is the name adopted by Fountain Street Church’s Sunday school programming during the 1950’s when it engaged in a then ground-breaking practice of Character Education. The exact practice has evolved but the name stuck and it’s still pertinent to much of what we do here – aiming not to save souls but to shape them and to provide opportunities for learners of all ages to explore issues of depth and meaning to them.
Like our other learning ministries we are particularly interested in fostering religious literacy (facts and concepts about religion), spiritual fluency and engagement (spiritual practices and disciplines such as prayer, meditation and movement) and moral competence (how to make difficult decisions based on your religious convictions).
