Would you like to purchase
a Bible for children’s church?

We are wanting 10–12 children’s Bibles for our children’s church. Would you like to donate one? They are $20 each. You can include your donation in the weekly offering plate. If you do it by check or online giving, please specify the amount you want to be used for the Bibles.

TIME WITH THE CHILDREN

Most of our 10 a.m. worship services include a time with the children.

Sunday school

Classes for children and youth

Sunday school classes for children and youth are offered from 9 to 9:45 a.m.:

♦ The children’s class and children’s church (both for grades K–4) are in the room 3 in the annex.

♦ The youth class meets in room 4 in the annex. Look for additional information here.

Classes for adults

Adult Sunday school classes meet from 9 to 9:45 a.m. in the annex:

♦ “Snacks With Susan and Daryl” meets in the carpeted area of the fellowship hall. They discuss topics of interest to the participants and often watch a DVD first.

♦ The Swift adult class meets in room 2 in the annex. They are taking a chronological look at the books of the New Testament. Cheryl Jensen presents the lessons. This class digs quite deeply into scripture and does not hesitate to present challenging thoughts for growing Christians while challenging participants to share the gospel of Christ in our community.
