When your children were baptized you and the congregation promised to bring them up as caring Christians. We, in the Christian Education Department look at that as our reason for being. Our dedicated teachers use the Rock Solid curriculum to teach your children the word of the Lord.
This year, as part of our program, we will begin 'Family Sunday.' The first Sunday of each month the children will attend church with their families so they can receive communion and learn how to participate during the service. There are bags to keep the very young children occupied at each entrance of the church.
If you have any questions about our program, please contact Mary Lou Zerby, the Christian Education Director.
Wayside thanks the following teachers for volunteering their time and talents to teaching your children this school year.
