New Sunday School for Young Adults

Beginning September 13, Sunday morning study opportunities will be expanded for both youth and young adults. Bring your children and youth to Sunday School and then join together with other young adults in the downstairs fellowship hall for a study and discussion of Scripture. Watch the bulletin next week for more information. Hope to see you there! For more information, contact Pat MacNicoll at pamacnicoll@msn.com. The Lunch Bunch: Looking for a mid-week opportunity to study and discuss scripture? We will read a passage of scripture and then ask: What did the passage mean to the original hearers? What does it mean for us today as disciples of Christ? Bring a bag lunch and come join the group ... beginning Wednesday, September 9, 12:00 noon. Contact Pat MacNicoll at pamacnicoll@msn.com.
