Thanks for your patience on our tile replacement project, regarding the inability to use the Sunday School side of our building until it is completed.  A runner has been placed on the floor, (enter at the bottom of the ramp) to protect your shoes, so the women's restroom and the adjoining small restroom for the men are available during the church service.

Adult Sunday School meets at 8:30am, under the sanctuary (at the present time).  We are listening to chapters of Not Safe by Mark Batterson, with losts of discussion . "Author Mark Batterson says the secret to being 'all in' with Jesus begins with challenging the mistaken beliefs that God wants to send us to safe places to do easy things.  Instead he challenges us to embrace the daring plan He has for you.  If Jesus is not Lord of all, then Jesus is not lord at all.  It's all or nothing.  Now or never.  Not safe or safe. "   Come join us!

Children's Sunday School

The children will meet with Ms. Nancy under the sanctuary during our construction project.  A table is available for hands-on learning with Ms. Nancy as well as books and toys for toddlers to stay amused.
