Sunday School

Sunday School

Sunday School celebrated the 2009-10 year on June 6th during worship by dedicating a banner and presenting a program having to do with Caring for God's Creation. Sunday School will break for the summer and start again on September 12th. Watch the church life, this website and the Courier for more information. 

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 will continue 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 second Sunday of each month 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.

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!
