Sunday School Volunteers Needed
Many of our Peace kids are excited for Sunday school to start in September. We've been blessed to have so many returning teachers and helpers every year. This year, we are looking for two individuals to co-teach a combined 1st and 2nd grade class. We also need a helper/co-teacher for our PK-K class. Lessons are low prep and we work with busy schedules. If you are interested in helping this year or would like more information, please contact Katherine at [email protected] or Andrew at [email protected].
