Christian Education

A large variety of educational programs are offered to all of our members.   Susan Ivy has the job of coordinating these programs.   Susan has a BA of Music Education from Texas State University and is certified by PCUSA as an Associate Christian Educator.

Pre-School and Elementary
Pre-school and elementary children meet with caring teachers who help them explore their faith by teaching them the stories of the Bible and how to use the Bible through enjoyable activities, music, art, and take-home sheets that help them share what they have learned.

Vacation Bible School
This year's Vacation Bible School will be from June 9-15, from 9-noon daily.   The theme will be a "Beach Party!"    Lots of volunteers are needed, and Jennifer Gately (626-6754) can match you with a party opening you're sure to enjoy.
Enrollment details will be available later.

Mid-Week Bible Studies
Rev. Lynda Dinsdale is currently conducting a DISCIPLE II class.   We try to offer a DISCIPLE class each year. Rev. Ken Peters leads a Christian Classics class, which reads and discusses great devotional literature from the 1st Century to the present.

Both Rev. Peters and Rev. Joe Turner lead Bible studies at various times during the year.   At present, Rev. Turner is leading a class on the best-selling What Paul Meant, by Garry Wills, in the Conference Room from 11 to noon on Tuesdays through May 6th.   These are the earliest Christian writings, and anyone who stops in will learn a lot.
