Sunday School Childcare

Entering PreK through Entering 5th Grade
Kids entering PreK (formerly 3 year olds – see other option for them below) through entering 5th graders (formerly 4th graders) will start out with their parents in the worship service, at 9:00 a.m. in the Garden or 9:15 a.m. in the Sanctuary. Kids in the 9:15 a.m. Sanctuary service will be invited up to the front for a Children’s Moment. After the Children’s Moment, the kids will leave the service with the teachers for Sunday school. Kids in the Garden will be picked up by a teacher at about 9:15 a.m. and taken over to the Sanctuary to join the other children. If your child wants to go to Sunday school, but does not feel comfortable going up front, they may join us as we are leaving or however they are most comfortable. Dress is casual for Sunday school over the summer, as we will incorporate a lot of games and play.

Entering PreK and entering Kindergarten should be picked up in Room 114. As an option, entering PreK can be dropped off in Room 114 at 9:00 a.m., if you feel they are not ready for this extended time in the worship.

Entering 1st through 3rd graders should be picked up in Room 205.

Entering 4th and 5th graders will be released to the courtyard for parent pick up.

Entering 6th graders meet in Room 208/210 for Sunday Morning Sabbath.

Adult Spiritual Formation

Seeds of Faith - Sunday, 9:15 a.m. - Room 211
Ever wonder why read or study the Old Testament? Come experience the Old Testament in a new way as we study The Bible Jesus Read by Philip Yancey. Come look at the heart of the Scriptures that Jesus himself grew up on .. and that laid the foundation for everything that he ever said or did. For the next several weeks, we will look at the book of Deuteronomy - Moses’ farewell speech to the Hebrews as he prepares God’s people for what lies ahead and reminds them to remember what God has been and is now doing in the lives of his people (just like us).
