SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER VOLUNTEERING
Sundays | 10 a.m.
By volunteering, you not only get the opportunity to know and care for the youth of our church, but you also demonstrate to them the importance of service in your life of faith. By no means should you feel you need to have all the answers. All you need is a willingness to share your time. Each week, Sam will reach out with the bible lesson and a list of short discussion questions.
