Sunday mornings, 10:05 - 10:55 am
Tweens (5th and 6th grade, Basement behind the choir room)
The Story of God’s Faithfulness: A Survey of the Old Testament. This study of the Old Testament helps students make connections and see the whole picture through sequential, systematic approach to Bible study. This class meets September through May.
Middle School (7th and 8th grade, Basement behind the choir room)
I Know My Bible. This study is designed to help participants know where the major Bible stories are and see how the Bible flows from book to book. Each section is followed by a review. As each section is completed, bookmarks are presented to the participants for them to keep and use in their own personal Bible study. This class meets September through May.
9th - 12th grade (Friendship Hall)
The Book of Job. Have you ever wondered, "Why me, Lord?" Have you ever felt uncomfortable with simplistic answers to such a question? If so, then come join us for a study of the book of Job. It is a story about a righteous man whose life fell to pieces and his attempt to make sense out of why and how it happened. Dr. John Judson leads this intergenerational opportunity. This class meets September through May.
L.I.F.E. (9th - 12th grade, Parlor)
We are watching Fuel

Acolyte Training and Participation (2nd - 6th grade)
During both services children and youth participate throughout the worship experience by bringing in the communion elements, filling the baptismal font, carrying the Bible, and light the Paschal candle. Contact: Trish Hopkins.
Weekly Worship Page
Each week, a Weekly Worship Page will be available to use as a home resource. Whether family or single this weekly page is meant for our church family to use as a way to prepare our hearts for joining in worship the following week. The daily scripture is helping to prepare your mind for the sermon of the upcoming week. The Weekly Worship Page is also available online.
Children’s Bulletins
This resource is available to children ages 3 – 6 and 7 – 12. This resource follows the
lectionary and provides mazes, word puzzles, and other activities to engage children in the lectionary scripture text for the week.
