Sunday School Rally! Volunteer to help with youth!


It's that time of year! The Sunday School Raly day is scheduled for August 31. Mark your calendar! Let's get ready to gear up for the year ahead of us. All Sunday School aged children are encouraged to attend.
Are you wanting to help out, but are not sure how? The Sunday School youth are looking for someone to assist them in learning God's Word. We need a teacher for the sixth grade to eighth grade for September through December. The only requirements for this position is to love the Lord. If you are able to share your talents to spread God's Word, please contact Beth Langston or the church office.
If you are interested in helping with the Sunday School Christmas program, please contact Beth or the church office. We are needing a couple of people to assist in putting a program into action. This is an excellent way to get to know our children.

Jr. Confirmation Classes

Jr. Confirmation classes will again be offered at Hanover beginning Tuesday, September 16 for those students who are in grades 6 & 7. A preliminary meeting will be on Tuesday, August 26 at 7:00 p.m. in the Meeting Room for parents and students.
