Children's Programs

Children's Worship & Sunday School

Our Sunday School program runs from the Sunday after Labor Day (This year it was 9/9/07) The last Sunday School Class this year is 6/1/08.

Classes are: Infants and toddlers; Preschool and Junior Kindergarten; Kindergarten; 1st Grade; 2nd & 3rd Grade; 4th & 5th Grade.

Meeting times (in conjunction with 10:15 service) Children begin classes at 10:15 am. There are children’s Books and Bulletins in the Narthex by the name tag table. Parents are asked to pick up a green “seat marker’’ to place next to them in the pew. This will reserve enough space for a child who enters church following Sunday School. Please return all to the Narthex after the service
