Childcare during worship is available for infants and toddlers (generally aged three and under) in the nursery on the right side of the hallway going back to Jubilee Hall.

Nurture Hour begins ten minutes after the end of worship.
Adults:
The summer quarter for Adult Nurture Hour includes two options: A sermon response class meets in the library, is led by various individuals, and is open to all. (Extra chairs are already available in the library.) The second class will be hearing about experiences in Christian churches around the world. Today, Laverne Nafziger and Rebekah Garboden will be sharing about the Christian church in India. This class gathers in the meetingroom. Next Sunday, July 16, Tavi Mounsithiraj will be sharing about Laos.

Children:
We continue our ``Digging for Treasure'' this Sunday during the nurture hour. Children (ages 4-grade 5) should go to Jubilee Hall right after worship. Our offering project will be collecting materials for MCC health kits. Don't forget to bring your items to fill up our treasure chest! (Adults, if you have contributions for the health kits, please give them to a child to put into the treasure collection.)

Youth:
The JYF (grades 6-8) and the MYF (grades 9-12) meet in their classrooms off of Jubilee Hall.
