Sun., Aug 26, Fall Kick-off Sunday
August 26 is Fall Kick-off Sunday.
ADULTS:
Sunday School for adults will not be offered.
Adults will have the opportunity to learn about programs and ways to serve, from 10:15 AM-11:00 AM in Bagby Parish Hall.
CHILDREN:
We're all looking forward to August 26, which will be a combination of Fall Kick-off Sunday and Promotion Sunday! Children and youth will be promoted to the next grade level in Sunday School; all ages will be "as of 9/1/2012." Children (Kindergarten-Grade 5) will meet at 9:00 AM and/or 10:15 AM in their new classrooms in Payne Education Center (2nd floor); children age 0 - Pre-K will meet in Founders' Hall. Parents of children are invited to an Open House on August 26, which will begin at 10:15 AM in the Old Church and end with a tour of the classrooms. Then we'll all take a week off on September 2 for the Labor Day holiday and return to our new classrooms on Sunday, September 9. We can't wait for you to join us!
YOUTH:
Parents of youth are invited to an Open House from 10:15-11:00 AM at the Scout Hut. We have exciting plans for the 2012-2013 program year, and we invite all parents to partner with us as we travel together on the journey.
Sunday School for youth will meet as usual, from 10:15-11:00 AM at the Island.
We're having Snowball Fights in the afternoon, at the Island, from 5:00-7:00 PM for middle school and high school students.
