Sunday School re-open last Sunday, and adult class on Saturday. We encourage parents who has not sent their children back to Sunday School to do so. There is also lots of room for new children.

The Sunday School would like to take this opportunity to thank the congregation and church members for the Christmas gifts donated at Christmas time.  Special thanks to Mr.& Mrs. Wayne Smith, for the donation of apples and oranges to the Sunday School, which went into the treat bags for the children, given in memory of the  late Donald & Adret Smith. God Bless!
