Join us Tuesday, August 1 from 5:30-6:30pm as we celebrate the start of a new school year.  We’ll have inflatables, games, food, fun, and more.  Bring your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, neighbors, and anyone else you can think of.  All are welcome.

Reading the Bible is an important part of our faith formation as we study the Word of God and it becomes a part of the fabric that weaves our lives together.  Join us in worship on Sunday, August 13 as we present our third grade students with their very own Bible.  Bring your Bible to church that day as well to model to our young people the importance of the study of scripture.  

Our church is proud to be a STAIR site for Birmingham school children.  STAIR is an after school reading program that helps 2nd grade children become stronger readers.  We need volunteers throughout the school year.  Each volunteer is assigned a child so they can read together, play word games, practice phonics, and write stories.  The commitment is one afternoon (Monday or Wednesday) per week, beginning in September.  The relationship that is formed not only helps them in reading, but it gives them a safe space to grow and develop.  To volunteer, go to the STAIR website by clicking here ... then click on “volunteer today.”

Following Children’s Moment each Sunday in worship, our children go to Sunday School to learn a Bible lesson and what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.  This is an important part of each child’s formation as they grow in their faith and in their understanding of God.  Each Sunday, there are 2-3 teachers with our children.  The commitment is usually one Sunday per month.  Even if you don’t have Sunday School-age children or a background in education, we would welcome you as a teacher.  This gives parents a break and children a chance to get to know another church member who loves and cares for them.  Contact Randi Turner with questions and to volunteer.
