  • Sunday School Begins

    Childen's Sunday June 2009Registration: Sept 13, 2009  10 AM

    Classes begin: Sept 20, 2009  10 AM/ followed by a Lunch with Pastor Doreen.

    This year the children will be building an A.R.K.! The children will be learning about our theme- Acts of Random Kindness.  We will play fun games, make cool crafts and learn how the simple act of being kind can make such a difference to someone.

    We are expecting that this year there will be more family involvement in the Sunday School.  Coordinators will work with family members of the students to see how they can participate.  Perhaps you would like to come share about the ways you have shown kindness or others have been kind to you.  There will be mentors available for family members or anyone who is interested in teaching a few classes, or you can participate as a guest/helper.

    Jesus said, “Let the children come to me.”  We all have a part in opening up the path to Jesus for the children in our church family.  It will be a blessing for you and for them.

  • Sunday School Dedication to Louise Doe

    On Sept. 21, 200, the church dedicated the Sunday School wing to Louise Doe for her over 53 consecutive years of teaching the “little ones”. It was a wonderful service – a lot of credit going to the Sunday School staff and Neil Mulrain for organizing this event.
    Anne Mulrain gave a wonderful children’s sermon, relating how certain things reminded her of Louise. Rev. Peter Wells, area Minister MCUCC, was the guest minister, personalizing his sermon around Louise’s “53 going on 54” years of teaching in our Sunday School. Our religious Director of Education, Christine Cathcart, read a poem and then the children each handed Louise a rose. Neil Mulrain presented Louise with the plaque, dedicating the Sunday School wing in her name. The plaque will be placed by the entrance to the Sunday School wing. The service was followed by a special coffee hour. Thank you to all who worked on this event but most of all, thank you Louise.
