Childcare is available for infants and toddlers

      Adult classes are combined during the summer and meet in the meetingroom. Today, the adult nurture class led by Kirk Stiffney will be viewing and discussing the NOOMA video titled Shells.

Do you often find yourself saying, “I’m so busy” or “I just have so much to do”? Many of us are running from place to place and it seems like life is just passing us by. There are so many good things to do. While we’re busy doing all these good things, are we missing out on something great? Maybe saying no would be easier if we knew what it meant to say yes.

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.
