Each week during church, children in pre-school and elementary grades have the opportunity to learn more about God's love in a special time designed just for them!
Our Pre-K class meets in the nursery area downstairs and the elementary grades meet in the education wing off the narthex. Instruction is given during the 9AM service following the children’s worship lesson. Instruction in Holy Communion Beginning Sunday October 2nd, Pastor Kari will be leading a class for instruction in Holy Communion. The class is open to all children who are preparing to receive Holy Communion for the first time as well as for those who may benefit from further instruction. It will be held during the half hour following worship each Sunday morning. We look forward to seeing you there!

All children are welcome to join our Sunday School teachers, Sandi Dunnack, Marie Liskom and Lynn Archambault for stories, crafts, and sharing. This year, younger students will learn about God's love for us and how we as Christians can share that love through service and caring for others. Older students will explore lessons from the Bible with a cross-generational focus using the "Taking Root" program. Additionally, Berti Hawkins will joyfully offer music with the children every 3rd Sunday.
Confirmation
This year we will have several students beginning their catechetical instruction to prepare for their Affirmation of Baptism and reception as adult voting members in the congregation. Class will begin October 2nd, and will be held Sunday evenings at the church.

For the past few months, Jesus has been visiting members of our congregation. He's broken bread with many families, attended the church picnic, traveled with members of the youth group to a gathering at Hammonasset, and always always wears his seat belt.
