Children & Youth

Sunday School

This Sunday

January 8, 9:15 - 10:10 AM


Our Children & Youth will be focusing on relationships with GodYourself, and Those Around You in the coming weeks. 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. All children & youth are invited to join us Sunday mornings from 9:15 - 10:10 AM in St. Andrew’s!

You are invited to a new small group experience brought to you by "The Well" at St. Michael's.

Connect with other fellow wanderers and seek out the Light along the journey and within ourselves. This six-week class will meet on Thursdays from 6:30 - 8:00 PM. Questions? Email scowell99@msn.com.

Through prayer and spiritual practices, participants will explore their relationships with water in both Christian Scriptures and their daily lives. The Sacred Water small group will be a 10-week small group experience. CLICK HERE to register for the small group that begins February 7.
