  Sunday School Sign Up is Online now!!

                                                                                                              Click Here to SIGN UP
  
            Branches Sunday School will be starting in October this year. Our program, led by Jess Stock, Bobbi Jo Haverly and Kelly Etherton, will be a mix of online activities, as well as an interactive student notebook, family dinner table questions and hopefully other activities that will be safely arranged in person, according to all Covid 19 requirements. However, there will be no Sunday morning classes due to safety restrictions at this time.
            We ARE planning an open house and kick off on October 4th at 3 pm--students can pick up a special Branches swag bag full of needed supplies for the year, and our teachers will be available to help sign up (if you have not yet done so) and teach families how to use the new "Bitmoji" classrooms on their computers.
            Families will also be asked to contribute to our Prayer Tree outside the front of the church where we will hang our prayers for our community to see and share.
