“I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. I will be filled with joy because of you.  I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.”

Psalm 9:1-2

When I think back over this past year of Sunday school, I find myself overflowing with gratitude to the fleet of teachers and assistants who have helped to teach and care for our children each and every week.  Their dedication to the Lord through their work in Children's Ministry is a wonderful blessing.  Please take a moment to thank a Sunday school teacher.  They are truly blessings from the Lord!

We will be taking a break from Sunday school for the Summer.  Our 2s and 3s class and Children’s Church class will continue.  

Blessings on your Summer!
