Monday Evening Bible Study

Until the end of November Pastor Sharon will continue leading a weekly Bible Study on Mondays from 7:00 – 8:15 pm on Zoom. Each session can stand alone, so if you can attend one, some, or all, you’re welcome! Whether you’re brand-new to the Bible or know it inside and out, you’re welcome! The group is exploring and discussing the book of the prophet Isaiah.

To receive the Zoom information, or if you have any questions contact Associate Pastor Rev. Sharon Yarger at scyarger@optonline.net.

Hope to see you there!

Sunday Morning Faith Formation

Whirl Kids (4^th grade and younger) meets the second and fourth Sundays of each month during part of the 10:00 am worship service. Children leave the worship service after the scripture reading and are led down the hallway to Classroom 6. Parents and other adults from our congregation lead the group in singing, Bible reading, a fun video and activities related to the day’s scripture reading. Parents/caregivers pick their children up at the conclusion of the worship service.

Middle School (grades 5-8) meets each Sunday at 11:15 am in the Library. Under the leadership of Matthew Beland, this group explores the day’s scripture reading through conversation and activities designed for growing together in our faith

High School (grades 9-12) meets each Sunday at 11:15 am in the Wesley Room. Under the leadership of Pastor Sharon Yarger, the group gathers for conversation around the day’s scripture reading and current event topics, as we seek to grow together in our faith

Questions? Interested in getting involved? Contact Pastor Sharon Yarger at scyarger@optonine.net or at the church office.
