Christian Education/Youth News
Sunday School
Congregation Station is the Sunday school program at First Congregational United Church of Christ. It is held during church for children ages 3 - 11. Children are invited to participate in this program, and it begins after the special music offered by the choir or bell choir, near the beginning of worship service.
For our Middle School Youth, grades 6th through 8th, we are offering a separate program. This will occur at the same time as Congregation Station, but they will be involved in a more advanced curriculum, appropriate for their age and interests. This program also begins after the special music portion of the service.
The first Sunday of each month is Communion Sunday and rather than head off to Congregation Station or the Middle School program, children will attend the worship service with their families.
