The Childcare room needs volunteers. If you are willing to volunteer during the church service, there is a signup sheet on the bulletin board outside the Child Care room. If you volunteer for the Child Care room, please make sure you are in the room when the children are dismissed from the Children’s Sermon.

We wish to congratulate all of our graduates and Confirmands this spring. If someone in your family is graduating (from college, graduate school or high school) this spring, please contact Karen LaFever at 746-6339. 

A big thank you to our Sunday School teachers this year :
Gia Cantwell (Pre-K – grade 1), Liz Arehart (grades 2-3), 

Sarah Philion (grades4-6), Nichole Newbold (grades 7-8), 

Jackie Howard (High School) and Susie Little (Youth Group)

We would also like to thank Bea Mooney and Linda Malcolm who have worked with the Rainbow Ringers, Chapel Bells and Chapel Choirs throughout the year. Thank you to all of you who have helped us out by teaching our class when we were unable and to those who helped in the nursery. It is very much appreciated.

Bibles were presented to the children who attend Sunday School and who have completed 2nd grade. Those who received a Bible this year are Molly Arehart, Anna Arehart, Adriana Merino, Ave Sprague, Isabella Cecee, and Sophia Wakin.

CONGRATULATIONS AND GODSPEED TO OUR GRADUATES. College Graduates – Caitlyn Burr (Master's Degree), Megan Cantwell, Jamie Mills, Emily Schmitt, Patty Rall, Christy Tyrrell and Colin Eustis. High School Graduates - Katie Anderson, Kyrra Howard, Samantha Howard, Allison Maxwell and Krista Burgin. Your Christian upbringing has equipped you to apply your faith in your daily life. With your faith in your heart, you are ready for whatever you may encounter. Walk humbly the path toward your future, always remembering God is with you, and using God’s Word as a light to your path and a lamp to your feet. We ask the congregation to keep these special young adults in their prayers as they journey into God’s future for them.

Sunday School

Sunday School

Sunday School celebrated the 2010-11 year on June 5th during worship by presenting a program entitled "Reporting Live". The Congregation was also treated to songs sung by the Sunday School Children, Chapel Choir and played by the Rainbow Bells. Our graduates and Sunday School teachers were recognized and the second graders were presented Bibles. 

Sunday School will break for the summer and start again on September 11th. Watch the church life, this website and the Courier for more information and don't forget to join the fun at Vacation Bible School July 24 - July 28!

Adult Education  

An Adult Sunday School Class is a part of our Sunday morning Christian Education schedule. This class is taking a break for the summer right now but watch for start up information in the fall!

The Men's Breakfast and Bible Study group continues to meet each Wednesday morning at 6:30 a.m. throughout the summer. (See below)

Senior Youth Group

The Senior Youth Group offers opportunities for spiritual growth and social interaction for youth grades 7 through 12. The group meets the first and third Sunday of each month for planning, 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. See the Youth Group Page or contact Susie Little for more information.

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!
