Adults: The focus for the summer Adult Nurture Hour is on the Mission programs that we support as a congregation. We will gather in the meetingroom this Sunday to hear representatives of Goshen Interfaith Hospitality Network tell about their work in our community. (A new quarter of classes begins next week; see the announcement in the newsletter that describes what will be offered.)

Younger children may go directly to their classroom. ¨ Infants and Twos meet in ``Cherub Corner.'' ¨ Preschool and Kindergarten meet in ``Gentleness.'' ¨ Children in grades 1-5 will be meeting together during the summer in Jubilee Hall. The theme is ``Parables of Jesus.'' Youth: The JYF (grades 6-8) and the MYF (grades 9-12) meet in their classrooms off of Jubilee Hall.
