Kids Sunday School Update!
Our kids' Sunday school is off to a great start! It has been great to learn Bible stories together, work on art projects, and "make a joyful noise to the Lord" (Psalm 100:1) by singing!
We will continue to meet every other Sunday for the foreseeable future. The scheduled dates are April 6th, April 20th, May 4th, May18th, June 1st, June 15th, and June 29th. All classes are at 9:15am.
Parents are always welcome to sit in or can attend the adult Sunday school, which meets at the same time.
If you have kids, grandkids, or friends with kids that you've always wanted to invite to church, this is the perfect opportunity! All are welcome! And if you are interested in volunteering to be present in the classroom as an extra adult, please call the church.
We're using Godly Play, a way of sharing Bible stories with kids in an interactive, hands-on way. Plus songs and art activities! God loves each and every one of us, and we want to share that love in a safe, caring, and fun environment.
For more information, please refer to this page and contact the church at 724-238-9411 to sign up.
Please spread the word, and we hope to see you there!
Lenten Program 2025
Our Simple Suppers will continue through April 9th.
The topic at our Simple Suppers is ‘forgiveness’. We are using a book by Dennis R. Maynard entitled, “Forgive and Get Your Life Back.” Maynard has been an Episcopal priest for over 50 years and he wrote this book as a compilation of what he learned about forgiveness from the perspective of a priest. He concludes that forgiveness is a process, not just a desire or a one-time statement. There are five step in the process of forgiving someone, similar to the five stages of grief. Sharing the book together will give us the opportunity to better understand God’s plan for forgiveness and to share our own experiences.
