SECOND SUNDAYS


SECOND SUNDAYS (from 5pm to 7pm) are an opportunity to come together with family and friends for a simple supper and a program around a particular theme, followed by a brief time of worship during which we'll get to share what we discovered about the theme.

This is for all ages with programming for:

 
Pre-6th: discussion of theme and activities to help children understand or take action on the theme
7th-12th: discussion of theme and an activity that will help young people put their ideas into action
9th-adults: discussion of theme and how it relates to our everyday living.

5:00-5:30pm--Gather and eat dinner
5:35-6:25pm--Discussion and activities
6:30-7:00pm--Worship
