Our Sunday School Fall Kickoff was September 14! See below all that the season offers as we seek to grow in faith, wisdom, and knowledge of Jesus. You’ll find Sunday School classes for children, youth, and adults, including God’s Big Story children’s Sunday School, the returning Pre-K class, and a continuation of GO! Upper & Lower Children’s Church!
It’s not too late to register your child for the 2025-2026 Children’s Ministry school year. Registering your child updates your personal info and helps us know how to prepare for our growing Sunday School classes and Children’s Church numbers. Registration is available online at allsaintswoodbridge.org/children.
A new season of Middle School Sunday School began on September 14! We are using God’s Big Story curriculum for youth. The new school year has us walking through the books of Samuel and Kings in the Old Testament through interactive activities and discussions. Each week, we also explore an aspect of our Anglican faith: the liturgy, the church calendar, and other Anglican traditions. (Fun snacks included!)
Sunday School for High School students started September 14 in the Multi-Purpose Room. 9th through 12th grades will have two five-week walk-throughs of the New Testament books of Galatians and 1 John. The class includes Bible study and discussion as we delve into key points and principles of our Christian faith presented in these Epistles. Youth are encouraged to attend and use this time to grow and strengthen their faith!
All Saints’ Youth (ASY) kicked off weekly gatherings at 4 p.m. on Sunday, September 14, in the Multi-Purpose Room.

Our two new Adult Discipleship Offerings began on September 14 and meet during the Sunday School hour (9:45 - 10:45 a.m.):
Understanding Your Bible the Way Jesus Understood His
presented by David Bjork in the Administrative Conference Room
Saint Luke tells us how on the road to Emmaus the resurrected Jesus “opened the Scriptures” to two troubled disciples, explaining to them from Moses and all the prophets those things pertaining to himself. Based on the belief that the Old Testament is to be read in the light of the Christ, and the New Testament is to be read in light of God’s revelation to Israel, this class will attempt to follow that example.
Beginning with how to read the Bible, we will examine more than 30 scriptural themes including: Chaos and Dragons, Blessing and Curses, Anointing, Eternal Life, Spiritual Beings, Son of Man, Exile, and the Image of God. Each week, there will be a short multimedia presentation followed by group discussion. Whether you are a new or a seasoned disciple, if you are seeking growth and encouragement, this class is for you. Come and see!
Discipling Our Children, Discipling Ourselves
facilitated by Deacon Julie Tilton (M.S. Family Development, Virginia Tech) in the Creation Room (Children’s Wing)
Discipleship is much more than teaching our children about the Bible. We want them to trust in Christ, recognize they have been fundamentally changed, and then seek to live their new identity with deep gratitude and joy. We can help ourselves and our children memorize scripture, the books of the Bible, and even understand the story of redemption, but, like trying to make banana bread by simply laying out all the ingredients, until we do something with these ingredients, we will not get banana bread nor a mature disciple who looks like Christ.
Please join Deacon Julie as we learn together how to disciple ourselves and our children to become living, walking images of Jesus Christ. Our textbook will be Family Discipleship That Works: Guiding Your Children to Know, Love, and Act Like Jesus by Brian Dembowczyk.
Moms In Prayer kicks off with dinner on Monday, September 29, at 6:30 p.m. Twice-monthly meetings begin in October. Click here for details!
