Children's Formation this Sunday | 9:15 - 10:15 am

Growing in our Worship 
Children ages 3 - grade 2 are invited to the GIOW classroom this Sunday for a lesson on 'Going Home.' This is a wonderful story from the Gospel about the time after Jesus rises from the dead and goes to meet the disciples (he walks through a door in one story, and in another eats fish with them - he's alive...like for real). 

Storymakers 
Children grades 3 - 6 are invited to join us in Storymakers classroom as we dive back into our series on 'The Exodus.' The past few sessions together, we've learned about Moses asking God for a sign when he was afraid to go to Egypt and what happened when Moses went to Egypt to demand that Pharaoh let the Hebrew people go. This Sunday, we will learn about the plagues that follow Pharaoh's refusal to let them go.

Adult Forum
This Sunday, April 30 at 9:15 am

Join us this Sunday for a conversation on 'Ministry in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Navigating the Intersection of Faith and Technology,' led by Daniel Davis. This is part of our ongoing series 'Emerging Technologies and the Future of the Church.' Adult Forum takes place in the Conference Room at 9:15 am.
