CHILDCARE - during the worship services our children from infancy to kindergarten are given attention and care. They have an opportunity for play and a story from the Bible. The theme this year is “God Loves Me”. Dolly Hutchings coordi-nates the volunteers sharing this joyful responsibility in the Nursery at the far end of the east hall on the main floor.
Sundays,February 2 & 9, 9:45am-10:45am. Emmaus Classroom
Embodying the message of the gospel in the 21st century provides the Christian with some unique challenges. The sheer quantity of forms that human misery takes today is overwhelming. The social problems behind the misery are complex and what to do about them is often divisive, expensive, and doesn't always seem to provide sustainable solutions. This five-week course will first step back and examine God's intent for all people and how our engagement with vulnerable populations can best reflect the character of God. Sign-ups will be at the Connection Center.
