Children and Youth Sunday School

Sunday School begins on September 20 from 10:00 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. in the Parish House. We want to introduce our classes and announce the teachers for this year’s programs. We also want to encourage everyone to look at the new paint on the walls in the classrooms on the ground floor of the Parish House.
