PUCC feels that Christian
Education is a priority for all our members from birth through senior
adulthood. The caring environment of the church nursery and preschool class
provides the youngest among us with their first experiences of God’s love
embodied by the church.
Kindergarten through fifth
grade, participate in “Pathways of Faith” which happens right after the
Children’s Message at the 9:30am service. We follow the Gather
‘Round curriculum, and more information is available at: www.gatherround.org. For the
July 2009 schedule of lessons, please see below.
Our Middle School youths also have classes of their
own in their newly painted Youth Room at this time. [Eighth graders are
also part of a fourteen-month faith building and questioning program called
Confirmation that meets on Monday nights.]
Stories and Songs is
the name of our Christian Education for children during the 11am
service. In a one room schoolhouse setting, children explore Bible
stories through Stories and Songs, as well as crafts and other fun!
Adult classes are offered
with a range of topics covered (from current events, guest speakers to
Biblical Study) during both of the worship services on Sunday mornings and
at other times during the week.
SAFE
CHURCH
CALLING ALL TEACHERS
AND SHEPHERDS!
Let’s help our
children have the safest possible environment for growing in faith and
connecting with each other! Please plan to attend a Safe Church
Training Luncheon on August 23 following 11:00am worship. We’ll start
out the 2009-2010 school year with good food, fellowship, and invest in our
children’s futures. SAFE CHURCH TRAINING IS MANDATORY FOR ALL
TEACHERS AND SHEPHERDS, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be fun!
