Sunday Morning: Children & Youth Offerings

Samantha Middleditch, with supervision and support from Francie and volunteers will offer loving care to our nursery and toddler program.  Francie Middleditch will offer her special teaching skills in our  elementary school classroom.

Leona Frost will guide our Middle Schoolers through age-appropriate materials that challenge and entertain them.

Joan Moore will use the Seasons of the Spirit materials to teach and engage our High Schoolers. The class will focus on "teen-agers in the Bible"!  Some of the strongest faith figures in the Bible made their mark while they were still in their teenage years.  They will look at those who made a difference and those who struggled will provide this class with some same age models to study.

Post High School—Young Adult participants will meet each Sunday after services at a local coffee shop for discussion of current events concerning the topic of “ethics” with Robert & Patricia Washburn.

Judy Phillips and Kathy Charbeneau will provide a children's choir activity when the others are participating in learning community following service.
