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 Adult Nurture Hour classes this week include a sermon response class that meets in the Library and a class led by Malinda Berry in the meetingroom.  Malinda is finishing up her Ph.D. in Theology at Union Theological Seminary in New York City, and she will share about, "What I Learned in

School."  Come and try a taste of nutritious and delicious organic theology.  

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.
