The Christ Church Sunday School is committed to looking beyond our walls for areas that are in need.

The Sunday School organizes our annual toy collection, in which new toys are collected and donated to a local shelter for women and children. The '5th Grade and Up' class oversees our annual Christmas cookie program where they bake, package, and distribute cookies to shut-ins as well as the clients of Shepherd's Haven.

Each school year we have a specific outreach project.

The Sunday School fundraiser this year (2025) is to partner with Project H.O.P.E. and collect donations for the homeless.

Project H.O.P.E. was started by parishioners Samantha, Louise and Matt Hanania to bring crucial supplies to NJ's homeless population in Paterson. The Sunday School will be collecting donations to be delivered to people in need. Items we are asking to be donated include:

Wipes, Granola bars, Band aids, Packs of socks, Packs of t-shirts

This fundraiser will continue throughout the summer. During Vacation Bible School the children will work on creating care packages that can be delivered.

In the Parish Hall there is a cardboard box, decorated by the Sunday School children, where you can place your donations. Thank you for your generosity!
