Fall 2026
In late August, we mailed out the 2026-2027 program year calendar. Here are some key dates:
REGISTER HERE FOR 2026-2027 https://forms.gle/ZWAvN6C6t2pR2uAo9 What is Youth Sunday? On Youth Sundays, we offer: - pancake breakfast beginning at 9am in the Parish Hall for all; - lesson time is replaced with review of the themes and Bible readings in the 10:30am service - selection of roles during the service (speaking and non speaking!) -Youth Choir songs during the service - Younger Children have activities in Parish Hall until service time if they are not participating. ** NEW** MIDDLE SCHOOL CLASS: MY FUTURE SELF (click link here) : SUNDAYS at 9:30am We invite teens to consider how they think about their future selves in light of God’s promises over them. The challenge of being a human - and especially a teen - is navigating the vast and sometimes scary unknown that is the future. StoryMakers goal is to help teens feel rooted in God’s promises no matter what their future looks like. Sometimes we fall into the trap of thinking that our future is all up to us. There is pressure in our own hearts and minds, not to mention from the world around us, to take control of our own lives and make them exactly the way we want them to be. This Future Self issue walks teens through stories from the past in order to find meaning in our futures. God’s stories in the Bible speak to us and remind us who holds our future hope! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOUTH CHOIR- Rehearsals NEW: THURSDAY - From 4:30-5:15pm.
CHILDCARE Resumes September 6, 2026 9am - Noon For Children ranging from six months through four years old: Sign in Required. Our childcare program--for our smallest churchgoers- provides a safe and nurturing space for children. while families attend church services. We aim to create a welcoming environment where God's love is experienced through interactions and age-appropriate activities. We realize there are going to be some weeks where childcare is available but there are no programs for our older children. In these circumstances, we ask that children who are five and above remain with their families during the church services and not be dropped off downstairs in the nursery. We feel this will be much more beneficial for the older children and it helps us keep our little ones safe, who might not even be walking! |
