Children’s Ministry
– Sunday School News –
Sunday School is offered Sundays at 9:30am
from September 7 through May 17
During this church season the classrooms teach
exciting stories and children learn many good lessons
about trusting God, and that God loves us and protects
us. Do you remember the story of the Four Friends,
Ten Men Healed, the Good Samaritan, the Lost Sheep
and Lost Coins, Jesus healing Blind Men and the story
of the Sower?
The upcoming season of Lent helps children learn
about what happened to Jesus before Easter.
Don’t miss it!
We look forward to your child attending each week,
getting to know their church friends and families.
The Sunday School teachers are thankful for your
time and extra help in the classrooms; preschool,
kindergarten and 1st grade needs parent helpers each
Sunday so that we can offer a safe child adult ratio in
these young classrooms. Teachers in 2nd through 5th
are thankful to parents who are able to take a few
Sundays this year to prepare and teach the lesson. If
you are able to help with the program, please let your
child’s teacher know or speak with Sue Miller, Sunday
School Director.
Each week in Sunday School the children are invited
to bring an offering, a great opportunity for children
to learn about giving and serving others.
The Sunday School offering is collected for the Haiti
Nursing Program. Last year we collected over $900
toward this program.

If you have the gifts of organization,
encouragement, hospitality, or teaching, perhaps,
you would like to coordinate this new ministry
