The plans for the Sunday School are two fold this year. We will continue with scripture and Bible stories and begin a study of the Sacraments. We will continue our worship and some kind of creative activity that reinforces the scripture lessons. A Christmas presentation will be offered on a Sunday in December, during worship. We thank the many volunteer assistants this Fall. We encourage you to invite your neighbors. –Sister Cornelia, OSH
