Children's Sunday School

Children's Sunday School Resumes September 12! Our Sunday School class for younger children, ages 3 and up, meets during the worship service, 10am - 10:45am. This enables our children to attend Sunday School and then join the worship service for a blessing during Holy Communion. Ellie Klein of St Anne's Day School, our Sunday School teacher, is excited about sharing her new material with the children. She looks forward to seeing them!

Wednesday Bible Study

Holy Bloomers Bible StudyThe Bible Study Group meets with Pastor Craig each Wednesday starting at 11:30 am. Each session includes about an hour of fellowship, dessert, coffee and Bible study. Last year we read and discussed the Old Testament stories of the Patriarchs starting with Abram in Genesis and continuing through Exodus with a brief stop in Esther. This year we are starting with the Gospel of Mark. This group began meeting with Pastor Gordon Reinertsen back in October 1978 until his retirement at the end of February 2011 when Pastor Craig took over. New members are always welcome.
