Sunday School Starts BACK!
Dear Church Members,
As we step into Fall, we are so happy to Welcome the children in our community Back to Sunday School! My name is Emilia Merisanu and I feel honored to be teaching our kids along with Nicole Yacamenko and Liliana Raileanu. We cordially invite you to bring your little ones to join us each week, after communion, as we gather together to know Christ, by unraveling God's word. And what better way for our children to grow into faithful Christians is there, but by knowing and living according to the Bible's teachings that tells us how we can obtain new life through a personal relationship with God. Your children will simply enjoy a warm, friendly atmosphere where God’s Word is taught through engaging, kids-friendly and meaningful activities, as we will be tackling together real-life topics such as the importance of praying, being kind in any situation, or the power of forgiveness, encouraging them to live what they learn everywhere they go.
We are looking forward to seeing each and every one of our wonderful children on Sunday!
Sincerely,
Emilia Merisanu
P.S. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
