Children's Sunday School
Our children's Sunday school is for all children ages 3 through 6th grade.
Sundays at 9:15am
Our theme is Shine Jesus' Light.
Our Last Day of Sunday School is May 19th.
Children's Church Options
We are now offering parents the option of sending their children for children’s time during the 10:30AM church service. Following the children’s message, volunteers will meet any children at the back of the church and take them to the Children's Room/nursery. They will return to the sanctuary in time for communion. This is available to infants through 4th grade students. If you would like to volunteer to help, please speak to Kathy Hoinski.
Sunday School Mission Project
We are collecting books to be shared with others as our mission project this spring. The books will be donated to the Cleveland Children's Book Bank. Please drop them off in the Gathering Space bin.

“Help is Here”
Finding Fresh Strength & Purpose in the power of the Holy Spirit by Max Lucado.
Help Is Here reminds us that our Good Shepherd doesn't just feed us; he leads us. He does more than correct us; he directs us. God keeps us on track--and best of all, he's commissioned the Holy Spirit to guide us down the winding roads of life, wherever they may lead us.
