The children's Sunday School class wants to know! They are asking folks to write out their favorite verse and their name on a piece of paper located in a basket in the vestibule over the next 2 Sundays. Return the verse to the basket and the children will add it to their favorite verses on a bulletin board outside the Children's Sunday School room. This will make a great intergenerational bulletin board and a wonderful way for the children to learn more about the Bible and our congregation. Thank you for your help!
