Sunday School
Mark your calendars: Rally Day/Blessing of the Backpacks is September 12th.
Sunday School and
Lighthouse registration brochures are available. Please download a registration form here and return it to the
church office.
The Advent Sunday School meets every Sunday from 10 to 10:50am in the
downstairs fellowship hall. Each Sunday we offer Bible-based lessons,
prayer, crafts, and a snack for children ages 3-11. We emphasize grace
and forgiveness through Christ's sacrifice on the cross and a life of
service and community based on Christ's teachings.
We begin each Sunday with music and then present the Bible story in a drama, puppet play or storytelling. The children then divide into small group rotations and talk about the story and its meaning as well as what God is calling them to do personally. We focus on the Gospel - what God is doing in and through us - and we teach that all we do in Jesus' name, we do with the courage, strength and love of Jesus.
