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.

October 8, 2017: Spiritual Roots

This month we are exploring the image of Roots.  I am especially moved by the images on the altar in which glass jars show the roots which support these plants and draw up nourishment from the water.
