Sunday School Invitation!
Would you like your children to learn about God, The Bible and the works of Jesus? Our Sunday School teaches young people up to the age of 20 about God’s great love for them, His care and protection in their lives, and their own inherent goodness. Families do not need to be Christian Scientists for their children to attend.
Sunday School takes place on Sunday mornings at 10:00AM and lasts an hour. The lessons are straight from the Bible and center on the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes, and the weekly Bible Lesson from the Pastor: The Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. Age-appropriate games, stories, discussions, and projects open up the Bible’s inspired meaning. key tools? Independent thought, moral courage, joy, and spiritual growth. Classes are led by dedicated and caring church members.
We look forward to welcoming the whole family!
