Sunday school for preschool through sixth grade meets in the Fellowship Hall for an opening before dispersing to individual classrooms where children should be picked up at the end of class. Our theme this year is "God's Miraculous Mission". Pre-K through 4th grade children will explore the Bible through videos, class discussion and crafts. Our 5th and 6th graders will follow the Connect lessons.
The Children's Room
The Children’s room is attended by a teacher and adult volunteer during the second service. During the summer, the Children's Room is not staffed but is open for parents to use. For more information about the Children's Room, click here.

First Communion
Our fifth graders met for First Communion Instructions and shared in a Seder Meal together. They will take their first communion on Maundy Thursday.
5th Grade Formal Communion Instruction
The formal instruction for communion for our 5th graders will take place on Sundays March 22nd and March 29th following the second service. While some students are already taking communion, this is our formal study of the sacrament, and it is meant for all 5th graders. In addition to the class we do one field trip. This is to a Seder meal at the Fairmont Temple in Beachwood, Ohio on Tuesday, March 24th @ 7:00pm. If you have not RSVP’d to Pastor Randy about your participation in these events, please do so as soon as possible.

CRLC Library
The library is in the Chapel View Room on the upper level at the rear of the building. Take the hall past the offices and around to the back. The library books are all neatly arranged on shelves in the room that’s used most often for meetings and study groups.
The shelves are marked so visitors can easily find a book to read and there’s no need to “sign out” a book or present a library card; just take what interests you and bring it back when you’ve finished. (If you can remember where you found it, you can even reshelf it for someone else to borrow.)
