📖 SUNDAY SCHOOL
We want our children to know of God’s love and history of interaction with humanity. Bible stories are part of Sunday school for ages K-8. Lessons on kindness and love are also included. Children interact with other children and so much more happens during Sunday school. Children remain in church through the children’s sermon, then leave for Sunday school.
🌎 ONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING
Each gift to One Great Hour of Sharing is typically received during the season of Lent. These gifts support efforts to relieve hunger through the Presbyterian Hunger Program. They also promote development through the Presbyterian Committee on the Self-Development of People. Furthermore, they help in areas of disaster through Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. All three programs work in different ways to serve individuals and communities in need. From early disaster response to ongoing community development, their work fits together to provide people with safety, sustenance, and hope. We will have offering envelopes and messages about this special giving opportunity during Lent.

Lent is 40 days of prayer, fasting, and alms giving that begins on Ash Wednesday. This is a period of preparation to celebrate the Lord’s Resurrection at Easter. It is often observed as a time to give up something important as a sacrifice. A suggestion is sharing-by each day selecting an item donate and placing it in a bag or box, then donating them to a charity shop, homeless shelter, etc.🏠 THRIFTY YARD SALE
