New Worship / Religious Education Schedule Starting 24 August 2014

Next Sunday (24 August 2014) — big changes for our Sunday morning schedule.

Worship will start at 11:00 AM.  On most Sundays, children and youth will stay in worship for the first 15 to 20 minutes before departing to their religious education classes.

On selected Sundays, we will have all-ages worship where the children and youth remain in the service.  When we have all-ages worship, there will be no religious education classes for children and youth.

Adult religious education classes will start back in the Fall after Labor Day — please check our website announcements for these details as they become available.
