Children | Pre-K–Grade 5
This fall, we will journey together and learn about God’s love through an at home activity box and monthly Zoom check-ins. Our theme for September is “Love thy Neighbor as Thyself.” Together, we will enact God’s love—and love God in return—by loving our neighbor.
Middle School | Grades 6–8
We will meet at 12:30 pm on the second Sunday of each month, Beginning on September 13, with a Building Challenge and exploration of how Jesus built a community of disciples and how we can build community today.
High School | Grades 9–12
Will meet at 12:30 pm on the third Sunday of each month, beginning September 20, by looking at 1 Kings 19 when Elijah is fed fresh baked bread by God while baking muffins together via Zoom. Throughout the month, we also will keep in touch by passing a notebook through the class (with the help of the U.S. Postal Service) with reflections and prayer requests.
Parenting Circle
Anyone involved in parenting (singles, couples, adoptive parents, step-parents, grandparents, guardians, mentors, etc.) are welcome to join us on Sundays, 9:45 am, on Zoom. We share experiences, resources, prayer, and scripture as we explore how our faith builds and nourishes our family lives, as well as nurtures our parent/child relationships.
See our other Adult Church School Classes here.
Grades 1–3 | Thursdays
Adults will be bringing club one sixteen to your front yard in mid-September (with help from parents). Then on Thursday, September 24, 5:30 pm, we will gather together on Zoom so we can see each other for Bible Study and fun!
Grades 4–7 | Wednesdays, 4:30–5:15 pm
Starting September 16, we will be rotating through all our favorite club one sixteen activities on Zoom…art, Bible study, and gym. All supplies will be delivered to you, but we’ll share instructions and laughs on Zoom.
Grades 7–12 | Wednesdays, 5:30–6:30 pm,
Starting September 16, we will explore our theme, For Such A Time as This. These words from the Book of Esther are words of challenge and an invitation spoken to Queen Esther as a call to make a difference in the unique historical time and place in which she found herself. It is no secret that we too find ourselves in a unique historical time—marked by a global pandemic, racial unrest, and a presidential election (to name but a few markers of this moment!). Through Bible Study, activities, and games, youth will reflect on this moment and ask where they find God and how God is calling them to step forward. Activities and supplies will be dropped off at each youth’s home.
Youth in grades 4–6 will gather once a month on zoom to build community through activities like Miniature Mini Golf on your kitchen table and pumpkin painting. Supplies will be provided to families who register online here.
Youth in grades 6–12 will gather once a month on Zoom to work together on a variety of mission projects including banner making, cookie baking, and online Christmas shopping. Register online here.
Children and Youth of all ages are able to help lead worship from home by lighting candles, reading scripture, and helping with the time for Children. Contact Sara Hackett if your family is willing to help lead worship by recording videos at home or over Zoom.
