CHURCH NEWS

Children’s Sunday School

We are pleased to share that our children’s Sunday School program has just launched a new curriculum. Each week our youngest members at HPPC will hear a new Bible story, watch a fun video, play games, engage in activities, sing songs and explore crafts. Miss Faith and her helpers will have fun with the children and they will, over time, learn that they are a precious child of God. (As we all are; we just sometimes don’t act like it. Re: sermon 4/14.)

If you are interested in occasionally serving as a substitute teacher — maybe a couple of times a year — please let Faith know at children@hydeparkpres.com.

New Look: In addition, the children’s Sunday School class has been refurbished by cleaning out and reorganizing supplies. And best of all — new toys, games, blocks and dolls have been purchased.


Snow White, the Church & You.
