Nursery
Nursery care is provided during worship services and for special events.
Sunday School
Singing! Sharing! Snacks! Stories! Games and Crafts! Sunday School classes will meet each Sunday from 9:45 to 10:45 am.
Children’s classes, from nursery to high school, meet in Sodergren Hall, where kids will enjoy learning about the amazing love of God in Jesus. Parents are invited to enjoy coffee, the Sunday newspaper, and informal conversation in Pastor Melinda’s office during the Sunday School hour.
Nursery care for young children is available .
All classes will meet together for an opening presentation of the day’s Bible story,
incorporating videos, dramatic presentations, and storytelling. Next, all will share an expanded music and worship time. The group will then divide into separate classes, with younger kids participating in craft activities and older kids having the opportunity for more in-depth Bible study. Our goals are to have older students
helping younger ones learn (and, in the process, learning more themselves), and to involve parents in a family learning experience.
