Graded Classes - through High School. For grades K-6 we use a Rotation
Curriculum. Each week, children attend a different class where they
make crafts, play games and other participate in other
activities. Our theme this year is "The Golden
Rule". Our Junior High (6th-8th) and Senior High (9th -
12th) classes each have their own classrooms on our second floor.
Adult
Education Classes - meet in the Adult Education Room and the
Parlor.
Child Care - for infants and pre-schoolers is available in the Toddler
room from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm every Sunday.
Church Library - our church library has
an excellent selection of both children's and Adult books for
individual or group study. It is a
great place to relax and browse stimulating (or just fun) Christian
reading material. The library is always open.
Check out our latest
additions.

ISABEL SUTCH
LIBRARY
New Additions for Our Teens
We just
added some great nonfiction books for teenagers. In For Young Women Only – What You Need to Know about How Guys
Think, the authors, Shaunti Feldhahn and Lisa A. Rice, surveyed 404
guys between ages fifteen through twenty to find out how they really felt
about girls and relationships. I
think most girls would be surprised at the results. What advise would most guys give to girls?
Be yourself!
Let’s face it – parents are clueless.
At least that’s what our teens think. Stupid Parents – Why They Just Don’t Understand and How You
Can Help helps teens understand how to communicate with their parents
to improve their relationships. It
answers common questions teens have, like -how
do I get my parents to be less embarrassing? -how do I get them to give me
more freedom? This book is helpful for both teens and parents.
God’s Little Devotional Book for Teens is a compilation of
stories intended to motivate teens to strive for a better character and a
closer relationship with God without really pushing the religious aspect.
With each short story, there is a title to describe the theme, a
short anecdote relating to the title, and a Bible verse to support the
theme. The stories show how
people, famous and not famous, achieved “impossible” goals under
difficult circumstances.
Look for the new CD, WOW Hits 2007, with the other music CDs.
This CD has 30 of the year’s top Christian artists and hits.
