Communion Education September 30 @ 10:00 AM in the Multi-Purpose Room. This is an opportunity for Third Graders and their parents to explore together the why, how, when and what of communion. It is our hope that after this class, our Third Graders will have a better understanding of this important sacrament. This class is led by Christie Gravely and Ginna Lister.
First Grade Worship Education This class begins after the new year during the 11:00 AM worship service. It focuses on all the parts of worship. Students will learn how and why we worship like we do. After the class, First Graders will feel more confident and able to participate as they join their families in the full worship service each week.
