Children & Youth
Nurturing
the curiosity of young people in the way of Jesus is our goal. How do
kids connect the formative experiences of their lives to the grace and
hope of the Gospel? Through Bible-focused curricula, our teaching staff
engages children of all ages in the time-tested task of integrating the
stories of our faith with their own. In the process, all learn and grow
together!We welcome your child for
9 a.m. Sunday school and for children learning opportunities during
10:30 a.m. Worship. Also we have ongoing activities for youth
through our ABY group. See our calendar of activities.
Experiencing
The Heart of Christianity:

passion? Yearning to explore or reclaim a faith that affirms both
heart and mind?
Begin your new year
with a study of Marcus Borg's faith inspiring book, The Heart of
Christianity and share the experience with a group of spiritual
sojourners. Join in this exciting opportunity to talk about
emerging ways to think about the Christian faith, ways that are relevant

with many others. Anticipate renewed purpose for practicing
spiritually aware lives. Re-ignite the passion of living
faith-full lives.

Smart
Money:
A Financial Literacy Class
Facilitator: Sue Gahimer
January 3 - February 14, 2010
Sundays @ 9 AM
This 7 week class will focus upon practical money matters: debt,
emergency funds, cash flow, investments, insurance, credit cards, and
much more. Setting a positive financial course will open the door
to other life opportunities.
Faith and finances go hand in hand. In the gospel of Matthew
6:21 we read, "Where your treasure is there your heart will be
also." We invest in what we value, what we love.
Christian faith calls us to wisely plan and use our resources as an
instrument of blessing. How we use our finances is a faith matter,
both individually and as a community of faith.
Faith and the Open Book
A discussion group for adults. Join us once a month as we
share comments about a selected book. Check the calendar for our
next meeting location and time.
