All adults will begin as one group in the meetingroom and then move into classes using the new Spring pairings: Classes 1 and 7 meet in the Southwest corner , classes 2 and 8 meet in the Northwest corner, classes 3 and 4 meet in the Southeast corner and classes 5 and 6 meet in the Northeast corner of the sanctuary . Visitors are welcome to attend any group. If you don't remember your class number, you can check the list on the bulletin board.        

Children from kindergarten through fifth grade gather after worship for singing in ``Jubilee Hall'' (the large room north of the fellowship hall). Younger children may go directly to their classrooms.
