Looking ahead>>>:
Please prayerfully consider becoming a teacher of children as we plan
for the fall start of Sunday School. Our kids are so lucky to be part
of a faith tradition that invites their questions and exploration of
faith, affording a deeper and more mature faith as young people and
adults. We daren’t let them down. A great Christian Education
experience will profoundly influence the well-being of a child’s life.
You’ll be invited to sign-up for teaching in early August as we plan the
September Rally Day Sunday (9/7/08).
