Love of Learning

September’s class is called “The Art of Legacy Writing” with Jim Anderson. Join us on Tuesday, 9/10 at 1:00pm in Rm B.

Have you ever thought of leaving a legacy of stories about your life experiences/achievements for your family to remember you? Come and hear Jim Anderson and how he 'repurposed' his senior years into techniques of writing stories of his life experiences for family and friends. Everyone can learn how to put their life stories into print. We suggest you bring a notebook and pen.

First Communion for 4th Graders & above

First Communion instruction is offered every year for students in fourth grade. Older students who have not received First Communion instruction are invited to email Pastor Matt to discuss options for instruction.

At the First Communion class, which takes place on Thursday, September 12 at 6:00pm, children will learn about communion and what it means in our lives. Pastor Matt will guide us through the Last Supper story and will teach us how Jesus wants us to remember Him always. We ask that all children have one adult with them for the class.

Then on Sunday, September 15 at the 9:15am worship service, there will be a special time where children will receive their First Communion. All family and friends are invited to join us at this very special worship service.

If you don't have a child this age, we ask for your prayers as we teach our kids what it means to be at the table together and remember Jesus.
