new children and adults at any time. We have classes for ages three

The Childcare room needs volunteers. If you are willing to
volunteer during the church service, there is a signup sheet on the

Child Care room, please make sure you are in the room after Pastor Allen
has dismissed the children from the Children’s Sermon.

off the Sanctuary. Please come and join us as we continue to grow in
our relationships with the risen Christ!
Senior Youth
Group
The
Senior Youth Group offers
opportunities for spiritual growth and social interaction for youth
grades 7 through 12. The group meets as needed for planning and then
again each month for a program or mission activity and sometimes just
a fun event or outing. Every year, usually in the summer, the Senior
Youth Group takes part in a week-long work project as volunteers in
mission.
Cherub
Choir and Junior Bells

We joyfully announce
the addition of the Cherub Choir (age three through second grade) and
a children’s handbell group called Junior Bells (third grade through
seventh grade). We hope to see all of our younger children participate
!
Cherub Choir will
start later this fall; you will receive more information in the near
future.
Beginning Bells
Any child interested
can contact Bea Mooney. This choir will typically
rehearse each Sunday morning at 9:15 am (before Sunday School). Check
with Bea Mooney for a complete schedule. If you are currently in grades
3 - 7, come join us for a fun time of praising God through music!
Child Care Coverage
Each Sunday morning during
worship Child Care is provided during the worship service. The child-care
room is located in the CE wing of the building. Children under age
eight are welcome in the child-care room. Please contact an usher
if you would like help getting to the child-care room on Sunday morning.
If you would like to volunteer to help watch children during the worship
hour, please sign up on the sheet outside the nursery or contact Gia
Cantwell at 746-3611.
Weekly
Men's Breakfast And Bible Study
The Wednesday morning Men’s Breakfast and Bible Study Group continues
to meet every Wednesday morning at 6:30 a.m. in the Conference Room.
The time begins with a hot breakfast together and finishes with about
30 minutes of Bible Study, concluding at about 7:30 a.m. We read the
Scripture together and then share our insights about how God is speaking
to us and to our time through these ancient texts. We all enjoy being
together! It would be even better if you joined with us!
All men of the church and community are welcome to attend
this group. You may join at anytime!
Adult
Education

An
Adult Sunday School Class was added to our Sunday morning Christian
Education schedule last fall. This class meets from 9:45 – 10:30 a.m.
in the Memorial Hospitality Room. You may join the class at any time! Once
again Ken Schermerhorn and George Thompson lead the study.
We’re grateful for their willingness to step back into leadership roles.
Class will resume this fall on Sunday mornings. Watch for more
information for this great opportunity to deepen your understanding of our Christian
faith.
Please join us
then and bring a friend!
