Do you have interest in being a Teacher next fall?
Our Sunday school teachers are volunteers from the congregation and receive a short orientation at the beginning of the fall quarter. Teaching Sunday school with the kids at PMC is a wonderful spiritual discipline and many have reflected how this experience has helped them grow in faith as well as increased their joy in being part of our faith community  The relationship one builds with children and their parents is rich and full of rewards.   
Email Curt Weaver to learn more or to explore the idea of teaching Sunday school.

Children's Time during Worship

Children's time is a long held tradition at PMC. It takes place in the front of the sanctuary ​on Sunday mornings during the service and is for children of all ages.
​Children are valued and loved at PMC and on Sunday mornings we call them to the front of the sanctuary for something called Children's Time. A beautiful quilt is spread out and the children gather for a short story that relates to the theme of the morning. This time is led by volunteers in the congregation and is meant to celebrate the children of our faith family and join them on a shared journey of following Jesus.

Children's Worship

A children's worship service will happen on the lower level during the sermon time upstairs. It is designed for children ages 3-1st grade.  
Children are invited to attend Children’s worship immediately after children's time in the worship service.
