Youth and Family Ministry
Have Faith in God
& in me!
Youth Education
begins each Sunday morning at 10:30 AM in the main sanctuary. Our children
are involved in the very beginning of the Celebration Service with their
parents and our loving, caring, and nurturing congregation. When the lessons
are about to start, the children are recognized at the front of the church
and serenaded as they leave for their Sunday lesson in the Spiritual
Cottage, where our Youth Education Director, Cindy Duty, and her Volunteer
Staff present a very special lesson called "MOMENTS OF TRUTH WITH YOUTH".
Throughout 2009, we are learning to use the Twelve Spiritual Powers in our
daily lives, focusing on a different Spiritual Power each month. The
Spiritual Power taught coincides with the messages delivered by Reverend
Nancy.

they need, and to confirm their spiritual nature.

involvement.
