Faith United Sunday School

Sunday School services are held in Centennial Hall and coincide with morning worship service at Faith United. The lessons of the program are designed to coincide with the Lectionary of the church services. To offer a full program, a great deal of commitment is needed from members of the congregation. Presently, there are 10 regular teachers . In addition, there are 2 teachers for the nursery, and 1 teacher for music. On a final note, we wish to give heartfelt thanks to anyone who has contributed in any way to make this past year(2009) a success.

The Plastic Years They pass so quickly, the day of youth, And the children change so fast, And soon they harden in the mold, And the plastic years are past. Then shape their lives while they are young, This be our prayer, our aim, That every child we meet shall bear, The imprints of HIS name Author Unknown
