How Do You Keep Church Day?



A five year old told me last week that Monday through Friday are school days, Saturday is play day and Sunday is church day.  He knows that Sundays are spent in Sunday school and worship and he knows what the expectations are as well as the rewards – seeing Miss Julia, having cheese sticks during the sermon and bread and wine afterwards.   

Sunday has always been church day for me as well.  Ever since I was 5, I have spent almost every Sunday morning in church.  Through grade school and high school it was an expectation.  In college it was a joy.   As an adult it was familiar place.  While it wasn’t always easy bringing my children and sitting with them in worship – and I will admit when I sang in the choir it was more Paul’s job than mine - it was important for me to have my family there.   My growing up in the church was a strong foundation in my life.  It formed who I am today and is a central part of my life.   


So, how do you keep Church Day?

About the Christian Education Committee



The Christian Education Committee’s mission is to provide interesting and engaging ways for children and adults to nurture and strengthen their faith journeys while encouraging them to grow in faith, service and fellowship.  The committee meets on the first Tuesday of the month – on our agenda is to make sure that all of our programs are running smoothly and that there are the necessary volunteers each week.  We discuss upcoming events and how we can help make them happen.  We discuss ways we can keep our programs relevant and meaningful for all participants.   We vision about what more we would like to see happen here.  If you are interested in Christian Education and the committee or want to learn more, contact Gail Frost, chairperson, or any of the committee members – Talley Hann, Anna Johnson or Julie Ledogar.
