Hello Friends!

Check out my

with the lectionary material for this week.
Clicking the image above will take you to this new Sunday School format. A desktop/laptop computer is needed (a phone will not work). Once there, you will find links to all of the readings & activities for this week's lesson. I hope you enjoy learning with it!

If you are in need of supplies to participate, please let me know, but I think you will find that most items needed you will already have at home.
