Sunday School Programs
From Birth to 36 Months
The purpose of our Nursery is to provide a safe, loving, fun and comfortable environment for both you and your child. Our goal is to allow parents to feel confident in the care their child is receiving so that they are able to relax and participate in worship. To accomplish this, our caregivers will rock, walk, feed and play with the children to ensure they are content.
The Nursery is provided for children from birth to 36 months of age. Toilet trained children 24-36 months are welcome to attend the preschool class in lieu of the Nursery at the parent’s discretion.

Sunday School
Sunday Programming for Kindergarten through 6th Grade
Junior Church takes the place of Sunday School through the summer months and begins on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. Children three years old through 2nd grade leave the sanctuary after the Children’s Sermon. Their time together includes a brief lesson, snack and a craft. As the services are a bit shorter in the summer, we encourage our older children and youth to experience worship during the summer.
Our Sunday School program runs from the second Sunday in September through the Sunday before Memorial Day in May, during the 10 AM worship service, starting immediately after the “Children’s Sermon” and a closing prayer (at approximately 10:20 am). This includes preschoolers through 6th grade. Preschoolers have their own classrooms on the upper level of the education wing while Kindergarten through 6th Grade go to the lower level of the education wing for their classes which follow a rotation of “stations.” (Go to the bottom of the page for more information on the Preschool Class.)
Consisting of five separate “stations” the program divides the children into groups based on school grade level. Every month all the children explore the same biblical story through different manners at each station, and at age-appropriate levels. The meanings behind the stories and how they relate to our lives are examined through both discussion and enjoyable activities, with volunteers from the congregation. Every week the groups rotate through the stations, and each month a new story is explored.
Sunday Programming for 7th-12th Grade
We have a unique program for youth on Sundays. Each Sunday of the month has a separate agenda. On the first Sunday of the month, our youth help to lead worship by being an usher, greeter, lay reader or a musician under the music director’s guidance. Other Sundays of the month will include a speaker who will share their life experience; sermon feedback time with one of our ministers; or participation in a mission project. Each class meeting usually includes a snack as well.

Funerals
The death of a loved one is something that touches the hearts of all of us. When a loved one dies, we desire the best for him or her. We want the funeral or memorial service to be a meaningful one that is personalized. Below are a booklet and worksheet that can help you in your planning.
