| CHRISTIAN EDUCATION COMMISSION is responsible for the Church School to include staffing and administration; Vacation Church School; weekday religious education; camping; audiovisuals; curriculum; men's, women's and youth fellowships; small group fellowships; library and leadership development. Many skilled and dedicated people are involved in the programs within these different groups. Since this has been our 300th Anniversary year, the children used the heritage curriculum for one quarter. They shared some of the things they learned one Sunday during the 11 AM worship service. We hope to be offering a new Adult Elective Class in January. If you do not currently attend Sunday School, why not give it a try. This year we had eight children participating in the camping program at Shepherd’s Spring. Also our Junior-Senior Youth participated in two Church of the Brethren Work Camps. One of these camps was in Roanoke and one in Chicago. A successful Vacation Bible School was held in July. On the second Sunday in June, we honor all graduates. Teacher Appreciation Sunday is celebrated the last Sunday in August All those who teach or help in any way during the program year are given special recognition during morning worship. |
