Our Sunday School Classes for
Kindergarten thru 9th Grade,
have resumed. Sunday School
starts promptly at 9:15 a.m. and
ends at 10:15 a.m. Sunday School
isn't just for the kids. We have
two adult studies as well. Curt
Brockway leads a discussion
about the book of Luke, and meets
in the parlor. Cliff Vanase is
hosting a class on the basics of
our faith. This is a great class
for those who want to understand
the "why" behind our faith. You
don't have to be a member of the
church to join, just come.


We provide child care for our
Sunday Worship Service.
Children in third grade and below
will be met at the side of the
sanctuary and led down to our
nursery.
