Childcare is available for infants and toddlers
in the nursery during worship.

Nurture Hour begins ten minutes after the end of worship.

      Adult classes are combined during the summer and meet in the meetingroom. Today, the adult nurture class led by Eric Hostetler will be viewing and discussing the NOOMA video titled Noise and is intended to start us thinking about “noise” in our lives – those things that occupy our minds, our time, and our hearts, and which may be squeezing out silence, where it is often easier to hear God.

      Because of the format of this particular video and the interaction it promotes, Eric would like for the Nurture Hour to begin right on time so there is enough time for reflection and discussion.

Children from preschool through fifth grade go directly to their classrooms after worship for a snack.

¨      Infants and Toddlers meet in “Cherub Corner.”

¨      Preschool (2 and 3 year-olds) meet in “Joyful.”

¨      Primary (4 and 5 year-olds) meet in “Peace.”

¨      Middler (grades 1-5) meets in “Forgiveness.”

Youth:

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