Church School Classes
pre-school - grade 5
The next Church School unit that we will be learning
is about Joseph. The story of Joseph and his brothers allows our
teachers to share with our children the value of sharing, loving,
believing, and trusting one another, but above all else, it teaches
about forgiveness. We will begin this unit after Epiphany Sunday,
January 8th.
On January 1st and 8th we will continue to teach our
children about Christmas and how the Spirit moves us to carry on
the Christmas message throughout the year.
Middle School Classes
Beginning on Sunday, February 5th, a class
for our middle school youth will be held at
the same time as church school. This class
will be led by Heather McLaughlin in the
parlor of the Community House and will run
twice a month. We have such an opportunity
to teach this age group and we have many of
them in our church! Please let me know if
you have a youth in grades 6-8 who would
like to attend.
Nursery care
Nursery care is provided each week by one of our two
nursery care givers Caroline Stead and Annie Kopff.
A schedule will be posted on the door of the nursery
for your convenience.

High School Youth
Our High School Youth will be embarking on our next mission trip
combined with adults from South Church to Biloxi, MS. There, we
will help rebuild area homes, work in a soup kitchen and homeless
shelter. We will also spend time together making meals, attending
a church service
on the Sunday of our arrival, and explore Biloxi.
We are looking forward to our trip and thank the church in advance
for the monetary support as well as the spiritual support that
we will receive.
Community Middle School Youth
Our first middle school youth group met on Sunday,
September 18th, led by Joy Conant of Christ Church and Heather
McLaughlin of South Church. Ten youth from Biddeford Pool, Kennebunk,
Kennebunkport, and Wells enjoyed finding answers to a scavenger
hunt in the port, snacks and laughter together. We have decided
that our name will be the Y.A.M.S , which stands for Young Adolescents
Moving in Spirit!
Our next gathering will be on Friday, October 28.
We’ll be going to the corn maze in Dayton, time to be announced.
If you have a middle school youth who would like
to join us, please please feel free to contact Heather McLaughlin
at heather@southchurchucc.org.
