Sunday School
Calling all parents and children. We are trying something different this year. Sunday School is at 10:00 am during worship service. The children will begin in the church sanctuary with everyone else. This will allow the children to still have some exposure to the worship service before they begin their lessons. The Pastor will then dismiss them about 15 minutes later to go to their classroom. Sunday School helps to build a strong foundation of faith in the life of your child. The teachers are looking forward to greeting the kids and sharing the message of God’s Grace and love. The last day of Sunday School will be May 18th and will resume in the Fall of 2025.
Adult Bible Study
The next bible study will begin April 17th.
