Deep Blue Kids:
Sundays, 9:45 – 10:45 a.m.
|
The community of believers was one in heart and mind.
(Acts 4:32)
This September in
DEEP BLUE
, we begin a new year with a special focus on what it means to be a part of a community. We are learning that we each have special gifts and talents to share, that everyone is a child of God, and that we can share God’s love with everyone!
At home, talk about what each person in your family is good at and how that talent can help share God’s love. What if we have people in our community who think or look or act or believe differently than we do? Jesus shows us that no one is left out of his community. Jesus shows us that God’s love is big enough for everyone!
Our Sunday school is growing! Teachers, helpers and substitutes are always needed in our Children’s Sunday School! Excellent curriculum and all supplies are provided. If you are willing to serve in this way, please contact Rev. Martha Touchton or Children’s Ministries Team Leader Julie King.

It has recently been brought to our attention that scammers are using the names of church staff to solicit money and/or gift cards from people. If you receive a suspicious email from a member of our church staff asking for anything out of the ordinary, do not reply before checking to make sure that the email address (and not just the staff person's name) is correct. If you have any questions at all, please contact the church office.
