SUNDAY SECOND HOUR —
a time for connection and friendship!

Sundays from 12:30-1:30PM we provide supervised childcare for children 7th grade and younger. Most Sundays, weather permitting, care is offered on the playground. Light snacks, such as popcorn or rice cakes with optional peanut butter, are provided. Parents are invited to pick their children up from their religious education class and then sign them into care on the playground.

Sunday Second Hour allows our children the chance to spend time together socializing with free play. It offers parents the opportunity to meet and talk with others and attend church meetings knowing that their children are in good hands.

For more information, speak with Rev. Susan, Sabbatical Minister for Faith Development or Caroline Heins, RE Assistant.

In Yarmouth, Maine the area clergy would get together once a month for lunch. At least they did while I was there. I really hope they still do. Those lunches were great. We all got together for lunch once a month – same restaurant, same table, same waiter even, and same lunch order. Every month we all ordered the […]

There’s a joke I’ve always loved, but always have to look up to make sure I get it right. When I looked it up (again) this week I discovered that in a 2005 poll in the UK it had been voted the funniest religious joke: I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a […]
