Sunday School Music

    When we meet in person the Rev. Robert Masenheimer (Pastor Bob) our Minister of Music, leads the youth in music at the beginning of Sunday school (currently we are on summer break).  When we were unable to meet in person (during COVID), Pastor Bob recorded the following songs for your use at home.  We hope that youth (and adults) will enjoy this music in their homes.  The first link is for the video of Pastor Bob playing and the second link is a pdf document with the lyrics.

     Music for Sunday School 1  and  Lyrics for Sunday School Songs 1

Sermons4Kids, Ministry to Children, and others...

    We continue to offer Sunday school lessons through Sermons4Kids, Ministry to Children, and other children's resources.  Each week there will be a Children's Sermon of the Week lesson that is built around the seasons of the church and based upon the church lectionary calendar.  These children's sermons will include an object lesson and children's activities like Bible coloring pages, games, and crafts.
