Summer Pathways
As you are planning your summer, We hope you will plan on bringing your young children or grandchildren to our Summer Pathways!  We are also looking for teachers for this weekly 40-minute class that happens during worship.
                                                                                     SUMMER PATHWAYS SUNDAYS will be:
                                                                                                                    June 15 and 29
                                                                                                                July 13, 20, and 27
                                                                                                            August 17, 24, and 31

Our theme this summer is God Loves ALL of US!  Each of us are unique and special!  Each Sunday will have a children's picture book assigned to it.
Summer Pathways is designed for children who are ages 3 through completed 2nd Grade.  Older children and youth may sign up to be helpers, and we will put them to work assisting with the crafts and helping with anything else in the classroom.

Leaders will use the story and the supplied lesson/craft ideas to go with the book. Plans will be written during the summer by Deannine, but all leaders will get plans at least 2 weeks in advance or more.
