Sunday School Changes...
 
     Beginning this month all teachers from 1st - 6th grade will be escorting their students into the sanctuary at the end of the Sunday School hour, where they will wait for their parents to pick them up.  This will done to help reduce the noise in the fellowship hall while adult classes finish their class time. 
 
Thank you,
