Sunday school for ages 3 year olds - 8th grade begins on September 20^th. Each week classes will be held from 9:15 to 10:15. Children and youth will learn through Bible stories, games and crafts. Lessons focus on knowing God and becoming lifelong followers of Jesus.

Senior High Sunday School will not meet on Sunday mornings but are encouraged to join our Faithlinks study (see below for description).

New Senior High Sunday School Class – Sunday Evenings at 6pm. Youth in grades 9-12 are invited to Companions in Christ study beginning Sunday, September 27^th from 6-7pm. This class is intended for those who would like to go a little deeper in their faith journey. Daily readings will enhance our study as together we journey in our faith formation. Choosing Pilgrimage is the title of our first series. Traditionally, a pilgrimage is not about the final destination but about the journey to get there. This study will help us find parallels between the physical and spiritual journeys of our lives.

Adult Study – Faithlinks – This study is for adults who want to apply their United Methodist beliefs to current faith issues and world events. A different topic is discussed each week.

In Step With the Spirit - Spiritual support and self-guided help for adults who want to bring forth positive change to their lives.

Give Your Time & Talent To Our Children – You Will Not Regret It!

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6)

One of the great treasures of our congregation is our youth. From "kiddie keep" to cherub choir, from Sunday school to first communion, and from youth groups to confirmation, we know how important it is to teach and help the children grow in faith and knowledge as they grow in age. And what better way to give back to the church than through the youth.

It is important to remember that not all ways of "giving" to our congregation involve money. Countless opportunities exist where the offering of your time and talents can make a difference in the life of a child, and fill a need within our own church.

"And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children." (Isaiah 54:13)

We have an outstanding pre-school that embraces volunteer help. Not to mention volunteering for a position on the pre-school board of directors. Being a bible mentor provides opportunity for one-on-one teaching. Or sign up to become a Sunday school teacher if a group environment is more your style. We are blessed with outstanding music programs that could always use a helping hand. How about lending your time to our teenagers who are on their journey to become fully confirmed members of the church? If the great outdoors is more your style, being a camp volunteer may be your calling.

These are just some of the important roles you can play to foster the development of our children. And if you don’t see something matches your talents, ask any of the leaders of our church and they can help guide you to a need that we have. Give it a try – you will be rewarded in so many ways!

"While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about." Angela Schwindt
