We invite you to join us for Sunday School every Sunday at 10:00 AM from September to June! Our program is from the Spark Curriculum, specifically designed for children in grades PreK through 6. This year, we are excited to introduce our new curriculum, "Activate Faith," which connects Sunday School with the church year by incorporating readings from the Revised Common Lectionary. Children will have a great time participating in hands-on learning activities, interactive games, and creative crafts. We are looking forward to welcoming you!
During the summer months, childcare is available each Sunday where children may participate in fun activities planned by the Sunday School staff. Vacation Bible School is offered for a week in June every summer. Childcare is also available in the nursery all year.

Parish Nurse
Support for Recovery at Home

A parish nurse, also known as a faith community nurse, is a nurse who cares for members of a parish or faith community. They integrate faith and healing to promote wellness within the community they serve. It was officially recognized as a specialty in 1998 by the American Nurses Association. The main roles are health education, health counseling, advocacy, and assistance finding resources or referrals. It prohibits “hands on nursing” care. The nurse must have an active RN license with certification from an accredited program.
