  • The Sunday School Class for Parent: All parents of children and youth are invited to join this discussion-based class that meets on Sunday mornings at 9 a.m. in room 304 of the Adult Education wing.  Parenting is one of the hardest jobs, but it is also the only job where we don't receive any formal training!  Parenting can simultaneously be the most rewarding and the most exhausting part of our life.  If you'd like to connect with other parents and grow in your faith journey, please join us!  Our curriculum is a mix between bible study and discussions around parenting children and youth and caring for aging parents. Join us as we tackle what that means, and how to support and encourage one another in Christian love. POC: Mandy Lloyd mandylloyd.cdci@ gmail.com

  • The Knitters Hands Helping Humanity This group meets Sundays at 9 a.m. in the library. This group changes the world by knitting together. Curious? Join this group and you will know what it means. POC Ruth Ann Harrold ruth.ann.harrold@cox.net
