Spring Sunday School: Relationships

Kicking off Next Sunday

January 8 - February 19

Relationships with God, Yourself, and Those Around You. These three types of relationship make up most of what it means to be a human in this world. Learning from a young age how to seek out and create healthy relationships in these three realms will propel our young people to live their fullest lives and be their fullest selves. This series will focus on these relationships through the lenses of trust, forgiveness, resilience, joy, sadness, kindness, and authenticity. Join us on Sunday mornings from 9:15 - 10:10 AM in St. Andrew’s!
