There have been questions as to why the church nursery is no longer staffed by confirmation students. Per our Safeguarding God's Children guidelines, there is a Two Adult Rule: Two adults must be present during congregational activities involving children or vulnerable adults. When confirmation students staff the nursery, it does not meet the Safeguarding God's Children criteria.
Parents are welcome to use the nursery for their children (aged 4 years and younger).

This Sunday we are having a special Sunday School activity with Pastor Andrea and the Swahili Choir. Please join us in the fellowship hall for treats and to learn a song!
Sunday, October 13th is a big Sunday for us. First the kids will be singing the song they learned during the Creation unit and reading the Creation story to the congregation. The second big thing is that we will be starting the Noah's Ark unit. We are excited to share this story and the promises it holds with the children.
There are a variety of opportunities to participate in Sunday School activities -- both for parents and non-parents of Sunday School students.
