K-5th Grade News
Lenten Workshop (K-3rd gr)
THIS SUNDAY: Feb. 18, 2018/ 10am
During our Sunday School hour our K-3rd graders will be making a Lenten Calendar to mark the season from Ash Wednesday to Easter. No registration required. We hope to see you there!
4th gr Catechism & 5th gr Who Am I?
These classes are opportunities to have important faith conversations with our children. Reading the materials along with your son(s)/daughter(s) keeps you in the loop about what they are learning and helps you have meaningful conversations with them about their faith and what they are grasping. We encourage parents read and to nudge their children in keeping up with the chapters/sections for each class:
  • Catechism- Feb. 18 will cover Q&A #25-29; Feb. 25 will cover Q&A #30-39
  • Who Am I?- Feb 18: Chapter 4 (Who is My Neighbor?); Feb 25: Conversation with FPC members Kedar and Flo Bryan
All Church Breakfast
February 25/ 9:30-11:00am
Wood Fellowship Hall
This is going to be a special morning that we hope all of our members are able to attend. There will be great food and fellowship and the donations support the incredible upcoming youth mission trips.

Most of our classes are canceled for that morning EXCEPT: Catechism and Who Am I . Due to the limited number of classes these studies have, we are encouraging families with 4th and 5th graders to bring them to the breakfast at 9:30 so they can grab a bite to eat with their classmates before heading upstairs to their rooms at 10am.
