Children 3 years old through 5th grade are invited to join us each Sunday as we learn about God’s love through Bible stories, prayer, crafts, music, and fellowship. Parents please see Angie Baughman after Sunday's service to complete a 2026–2027 Sunday School registration form and sign the photo release authorization for your child. We look forward to welcoming our children back to Sunday School and to a joyful year of learning and growing in faith!

The Altar Guild works behind the scenes to maintain and enhance our sacred places and to help increase our parish family’s awareness of God.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Together we are united with the saints of the household of God; built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ himself being the cornerstone. In Christ alone our church is being joined together, and is growing into a holy temple of the Lord by the Spirit. By Your wisdom may we discern what You want us to build; Through Jesus Christ our Lord and the power of the Holy Spirit,

Amen.
