DID YOU KNOW . . . .
There is a place where you can go to see what your children are learning each week in Sunday School? We have a Parent Tools & Resources page where you and your child can connect throughout the week to bring each lesson home. Print out the weekly Bible verse, download music, watch Chadder videos, play games, and get at home activities to do with your child that reinforce the lessons. Check back each week for updates!

BIBLE VERSE TUNES!
A special THANKS to Dave Wilson, Director of Contemporary Music for Cornerstone who has recorded Bible verse songs for our younger children. The kids love them, and we hope you will download them to play at home, too!

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.
