Church school for children, youth and adults will resume on Sunday, September 7, at 9:45 a.m. Church school parents are invited to a get-acquainted meeting in the sanctuary with their children (threes through fifth grade) at 9:45. Our new curriculum will be introduced and everyone can meet the church school staff before the children go to their classes.

Adults: Come on Sunday, September 7, have some coffee in Fellowship Hall after the 8:30 worship, and, at 10:15 a.m., in the sanctuary, we’ll introduce you to our adult leaders and the enrichment classes for this semester. Four different topics and leaders will be presented. Don’t miss out.

Church school children need to be registered each September. Avoid the crowd and register your child any Sunday before the 7th of September. Registration forms are in the narthex on the table.
