Backpacks, Blessings, & New Beginnings

NEW August Sunday School for children begins this Sunday, August 4, 9:45 a.m. -10:45 a.m.

The transition back to school can often be a daunting time for children - a mix of anticipation and apprehension as they face a new academic year with all its challenges and changes. In this four-week “Back To School” children's Sunday School, we address these feelings by blending biblical teachings with practical advice, providing children with spiritual tools to navigate this vital phase confidently while reaffirming that God is their constant companion and source of strength. For Rising Kindergarten through Rising 6th-grade students. Nursery open for PreK and under.
