Every Lord’s Day morning, at 9:45, we gather for a time of discussion surrounding God’s word prior to our main 11:00 worship service. Because we believe that the family constitutes the central environment for theological education of children, our Sunday School aims to augment, not replace, training in the home. To encourage Family Worship all ages will study the same passages of scripture each week. Elementary school aged children gather at The Mercy House (6077 Lakeshore Road). The teenagers and adults meet together across the street in our worship space at 6028 Lakeshore Road. Our 2012 schedule, below, follows the Jesus Storybook Bible.
