Safe Sanctuaries     Our Annual Conference has mandated that our churches participate in "Safe Sanctuaries," a program designed to protect our children and youth.  In past years we have developed statements of support.  This year we will ask everyone who participates in activities (teaching, helping, serving) for our children and youth to participate in a training event and apply for Act 33/34 clearances. Creative Preschool Scouting LOGOS MINISTRY                   This session ends on March 26th.                         See you there! Children in grades Pre-School - 12 are invited to participate in the after-school Logos program each Wednesday. Two semesters of 15 sessions incorporate a four-part program of Bible study, dinner, choir and activities. A fee is charged to cover the cost of 30 meals, books and materials used in the craft activities, but scholarships are available upon request. Music Children's music is an integral part of our education and worship experience. Camping Each summer the church provides access and support for elementary and youth members to attend events planned at Camps Allegheny, Jumonville and Wesley Woods as well as specialized trip camps. The Church pays a portion of the fees. For more information on our conference camps, click on the links below. Wesley Woods ARE YOU READY FOR SUMMER CAMP!!! Why not head to Wesley Woods ??
