Please read the Annual Report and Financial Supplement linked below. And come ready to celebrate God's grace in this place!
In peace,
Pastor Sarah |

Sunday school has resumed after Christmas break with learning the story of Daniel and the Lion's Den. The three-week lesson has focused on courage, prayer, and protection. The kids played a variety of games like tag and guess who; identified some of their fears, rules/laws designed to protect, who protects them; and colored some sheets. They also created a lion-themed door hanger to serve as a reminder that God is there when they pray and will protect them.
The kids will recite the story to the congregation on 1/26 and will sing a modified version of "Jesus Loves Me".
Our next series of lessons will focus on Moses from birth to Exodus, leading up to Easter.
Sunday School is
in need of volunteers each week. Please consider volunteering for one or more dates.
- Guest Readers - Each week we will have a guest reader read our bible story for the class. We encourage everyone in the congregation to come and read, even if you do not have kids in Sunday School. Volunteer here
- Small Group Leaders - Each week we will need at least two adult volunteers to help facilitate the small groups and other activities. Volunteer here
- Sunday School Refreshments - We would welcome a volunteer to provide a light snack for about 20 kids at the beginning of each Sunday School Class. Volunteer here
