NEW SUNDAY SCHOOL OPPORTUNITIES

SUNDAY  FEBRUARY 5                                          
This Sunday we will begin trying out a new opportunity with our Sunday School for each first Sunday in the month, when we celebrate communion.

Sunday School will still be offered for preschool through elementary school, led by our Childcare Attendant, with support from Pastor Elizabeth. But if it feels right for your family, children are invited to stay in worship to experience it with the whole church family, as are youth. Children's coloring bulletins are available in the narthex (sanctuary lobby area), and the Quiet Room is available if desired. Other Sundays each month, we will continue with our regular classes, divided by age groups and taught by our wonderful volunteers. Please let me know how this new experiment works out for your families.
