We are gearing up to kick-off our 2008-2009 Sunday School programs on August 24th. If you feel the calling to serve and help with this very important ministry, please let us know. New faces, ideas, and talents are always welcome. Due to the growing size of some our classes, we are in need of help with the preschool and kindergarten - 1st grade classes. If this sounds fun and interesting to you, contact Brenda Bishop at 786-0720 or email at bfbrbb@aol.com.
