Christian Education
During September through May youth and adult church school classes begin at 9:45 a.m.
each Sunday. Children’s classes begin at 10:00 a.m. after the Joyful
Noise opening time in room #15. We have a different schedule
during the summer months.

“Consider the
Lilies”
Summer Sunday Classroom
for Grades K – 5 (completed)
Each
Sunday during the summer, kids who’ve completed grades K through five
will be excused from the worship service after the children’s message to
attend our summer Sunday classroom in room #15. Our summer theme,
“Consider the Lilies” invites students to explore the ways we respond to
God’s love and live in community as followers of Jesus. Come and enjoy
this more relaxed setting for hearing stories of God’s people. Our
summer stories will help us:
·Look
back to ancient stories of those who struggled to be faithful to God’s
call.
Look ahead to anticipate and discover how we can be the community of God’s
people.
·Look
inward to hear Jesus call us to compassion and transformation.
·Look
outward to practice the presence of God in everyday living – ordinary
time.
We also invite middle
school students to come and help out in the classroom on any Sunday.
This is a good way to build leadership skills and exercise Christian
compassion and service…and perhaps learn the Bible stories in a deeper
way!
Mark your calendars!
