Educational Opportunities

Church School Programs:

Available for all ages every Sunday beginning at 9:30 a.m.

Kids Corner Class Information

The youth class is currently learning about Matthew and having wonderful discussions.

On Sunday, April 6, the entire Sunday School will be going to the Shepherds after church to serve lunch and dessert and to spend time with everyone there. They are in need of bud vases as they would like to present each resident with a flower. Bud vases can be brought in on Sundays or to the office during the week.

As you are doing your spring cleaning, please keep in mind that the Youth will be having a flea market to raise funds for Camp and would appreciate your donations of “gently used” items.

New students are welcome at any time, so bring your kids, grandchildren and neighbor kids to Sunday School at 9:30 AM every Sunday. (Wesley Choir meets at 9:00 am and needs additional choir members—if you like to sing, we would love to have you join their group!)

Circle of Friends will serving and making desserts for the Sportsman Dinner on Friday, March 14th. Doors will open at 5:30 PM and this event is open for all fishing and hunting fans! If you’re interested in helping or attending, call Bob at 595-9079.

At the March 31st meeting, we will be putting together care packages for shut-ins, service people and college students. Donated items are needed to fill the boxes. You may bring your items on Monday, Tuesday, or Friday from 9:30 AM to Noon, or on Sundays. If you know of someone who would benefit from a care package, contact the church office.

April’s meeting will be a “Baby Shower” as an outreach for the Shepherd’s Maternity House. Following church on May 18th, all are invited to participate in “Everybody’s Birthday Party.” More details about this special event will follow soon.
