The Blessing of Backpack -- Sunday, August 28

Our Annual Blessing of the Backpacks is a treasured way to acknowledge our Summer and welcome in the new school year! This year, save the date for Sunday, August 28th at 10AM worship! 
​
All of our students are encouraged to bring their backpacks—as we pray and sing songs to honor the school year ahead. Afterwards, we will share a cool treat with a do-it-yourself Dairy Queen Sundae Bar!

Sunday School -- Beginning October 2

We invite your children and youth to join us for Sunday School programming for all ages! Each Sunday at the start of worship, follow our SJTL Children & Youth Director for a Bible lesson that is grounded in Godly Play, a hands-on approach of teaching Sunday School Lessons. On any Sunday, children can drop in and learn about God-no Reservation needed! (All ages are welcome; geared especially for ages 4-8).

Younger children, ages 0-4 are encouraged to enjoy Nursery Room activities and play with Mary Hehr, our supervisor who all the kids enjoy!

Middles and Teens are invited to share time once a month with their specialized programs -- Middlers and Sunday Skip.
