Beginning Sunday, September 15, we invite children ages 2-to-10 years old to join us for Sunday School after our Celebration! Service from 9:50-10:30 AM in Old Buttonwood Hall.

Adult CE

Coming off the hottest year on record, and one of the warmest winters on record, climate change has become an ever-present factor in our lives. But how much progress are we making at the state and national levels? And how much can our individual actions impact a clearly global problem? Doug O'Malley, Director with Environment New Jersey and FPC member, will do a run-down on progress made over the last year on both the state and federal level. Doug will break down impacts of climate change on everything from our drinking water, our insurance rates and the pace of single-use plastics in our lives. He will also do an Earth Day tune-up on green plans made in past years and provide some key tips for all of us to incorporate into our daily lives, from young parents to grandparents. Come join Doug O'Malley in the MacColl Room at 9:45 AM on Sunday, April 21, as part of this year's Earth Day teach-in.

Special Earth Day Sunday School

Join us for a special Earth Day Children’s Sunday School on Sunday, April 21, from 9:45-10:30 am in Old Buttonwood Hall. We will explore together how God calls us to take care of the earth. We will then complete an Earth Day service project. Children of all ages are invited to join! Parents and guardians are invited to attend the Adult Education Earth Day program in the MacColl Room at this time.

Christian Education Programs Begin

Christian Education programs for adults and children begin next Sunday, September 22nd at 9:45 AM.

Children's Sunday school is held in the Cochran Room on the lower level, and is targeted towards children aged 3 and up. The curriculum this year focuses on learning the essential stories of the people of God through the Bible and emphasizes personal discovery, wonder, and exploration. Contact Rev. Sarah Weisiger for more information.

Adult CE meets in the MacColl Room (on the upper level). Sunday's class will be "A Presbyterian Primer" taught by Dr. Baron Mullis. For those who want a "tune-up" on their basic understanding of Presbyterianism, Baron will explore the evolution of the denomination (and theology) that we call home. For information contact Carol Cook.
