Learning opportunities for all ages

The preschool and elementary classes continue to use the Gather Round curriculum

The Youth class continues its study of the Bible.

Adult programming includes topical study, reading, and presentations.

Intergenerational learning opportunities are offered seasonally.

We provide a professionally staffed nursery for babies and toddlers during the Smithfield School classes and the worship service.

11:00 a.m.

Everyone gathers in the sanctuary for worship; nursery remains open.

11:15 a.m.

Following the Children's Time children age 3 to grade 2 are invited to leave the sanctuary to participate in Children's Chapel with Bible stories, songs, and prayers.

At 11:30 a.m. they will join in Pilgrim Adventures – a time of worship, stories, music, activities, and more.
