Sunday School

10:30 am

@ the Emerson

We are blessed to help support you on your path to teaching your children God's Word. Sunday School is held during the 10:30 a.m. service at the Emerson. Children (2 years through 6th grade) are dismissed to school from the sanctuary after the children's message and can be picked up in the Ballroom next to the theatre immediately following the service.

If you are interested in serving in the children's area or should have any questions about the program, please email Bev McVean at bmcvean@springhillpres.com.

Summer Sunday School
3years - 4th Grade
(accepting children going into 5th grade)

Before you know it Summer will be here along with Summer Sunday School 2011. We will be praying to find those who feel called to serve by helping with this ministry. This is a great opportunity for the church body to get to know the children in our church while giving our dedicated teachers a break. We need leaders for this coming Summer season of Sunday School.

Find the dates to volunteer/sign-up sheet HERE!
