2016 Next Gen header
Dear families,

Welcome to the weekend! Our much-anticipated All-Church Retreat begins tomorrow at NorthBay Camp in Maryland. Please keep the many families and individuals in your prayers as we travel back and forth on this busy-driving weekend. Pray for travel mercies, friendships formed and strengthened and the Lord's blessing on our days together. Look for pictures in the next edition of Next Gen. 

The summer Sunday schedule begins this week. We move to one worship service at 10:00 AM. Keep reading for details and ways to be involved.

Finally, in the summer months our Take Home Questions transform into Take Home or Take Away Questions. This block (below) features the passages for the Time with Children and summer church school each week at our church. But if you are away on vacation, pull them up and use them for a quick family devotion or before-bedtime Bible reading. God's word is with us wherever we go.

In shared ministry,

Summer Church School Schedule 
From May 28 to September 3 there is one worship service at 10:00 AM. Nursery for infants-age two is in Room 09.
Children participate in the first part of the worship service. After the Time with Children, they are escorted by parents and  teachers to their classes.  
  • Preschool (ages 3 and 4) in Room 07/08.
  • Rising Kindergarten to Grade Two in Room 04.
Parents pick up children in their rooms on the lower level following the end of the worship service. 

Adult Helpers Needed Each Week
We need an adult assistant for each teacher - lead teacher positions are filled. We provide a curriculum, a schedule, and support. You provide love for the children of our church and a willingness to try something new. Youth helpers are also welcome to join you in assisting. 

Sign up on the sheet outside the office or on Sign Up Genius .
