MINISTRIES: Adult Education
Adult Educational programs are offered on Sundays during the Christian Education Hour following the 9:30 Eucharist in conjunction with an informal coffee hour. All are welcome to attend any one of these programs. Dismissal from Adult Education coincides with that for Children's Christian Education so parents have the opportunity to attend these events. Coffee and refreshment are served at 10:45 and all programs begin at 11 o'clock. Grab some coffee and choose a group of your interest.
