Sunday School


Women's Bible Study:  "Living a Life of Balance"

Many of us yearn for balance in our lives.  That precise alignment which will leave all our daily responsibilities in perfect harmony.  As Christians we aren't just balancing our household schedules with work, diet, rest and exercise, we must also consider the spiritual balance of our lives.  How are we handling the balance between faith and sight, between love and obedience, between longing and contentment?  Only God can guide us toward that balance we desire, and it starts with our hearts.  Join Janet Snowden in Room 9 at 9:15.

Men's Sunday Morning Group

Life isn't for wimps.  Responsibilities at work and at home, relationships with your parents, family, and that important person in our life...all can be a challenge.  We need a space where  we can talk, listen and hopefully come away with something to think about.  Sunday mornings this fall, guys are meeting at Bigby's Coffee on Ludington Street at 9:00 a.m.  The first cup is on Pastor Scott!

Senior High

Join Bron Harmon in the Chapel for open discussions about teen topics.  This fall the focus is on contemporary music.  Sometimes Bron treats to breakfast!

Middle School (6th - 8th grade)

Wendy DeRouin will guide these kids though their transition from child to teen with games, discussions and mission projects.  Meet in Room 8 at 9:15.

Elementary (Readiness Kindergarten - 5th grade)

Meet in the Sanctuary at 9:00 for Kids on Key, then settle down and hear a story.  After the story, children split into three groups that rotate between teachers to play games, create crafts, or make a treat.  Stewardship opportunities outside of Sunday School are offered throughout the year, including leaf-raking in the fall.  Teachers this year are Katie Brewer-Berres and Cat Lindberg with Connie Duchaine, Arleen Martin and Deanna Robinette as guest teachers.

 

Special Worship Services


Lenten Suppers & Vespers
 
During the Wednesdays of Lent, we gather for a supper of soup and bread at 6:00 followed by a vesper service at 6:30.  These suppers are a family gathering for both adults and children.
 
Seder Meal
 
Seder is the traditional Passover week dinner celebrated by the Hebrews since the Exodus.  It is the Hebrew Thanksgiving, giving thanks to God for deliverance and redemption.  Seder is that famous dinner called The Last Supper, hosted by Jesus for His disciples and was the event that Jesus chose to announce The New Covenant.  And it was at this Seder that Jesus asked all of us "to do this in remembrance of Him".  It is the focal point where we bring together our common heritage and experience the Holy Spirit
