New Covenant Community is not only committed to building relationships and community within our adult membership, but also with our children.  To that end we offer several opportunities for spiritual participation and growth for our younger generation.

Our Sunday School program for elementary aged children meets on Sunday mornings at 10:30am (10am in the summer).  We offer two different classes, one for 4 - 7 year olds, and another for 3rd to 8th graders, with teachers who lead on a rotating basis.  We also provide nursery care for our very young children during the service.  Or, if you prefer, you may have your children join you in worship. 

One of the great traditions at NCC is at the end of our worship service, when all of the children join us for communion and a closing song ("Go Now in Peace").  This ritual means a lot to the entire congregation.

In addition to our Sunday morning programs, we also offer regular activities for the entire NCC family as a way for our kids to get to know other adults and build community within the congregation across generations.  In the past these programs have included climbing at Upper Limits, kayaking on local lakes, garden and nature walks, and group sing-a-longs.  Check back to find some activities that are coming up in 2009  You are welcome to attend any and all of these events, whether or not you have children in your family. 

Nursery Renovation!

We have been working very hard this summer to renovate our children's nursery room.  The walls

are freshly painted, and new carpet is being installed.  We hope to have everything moved back in

and open the nursery back up for business by mid-August, 2010.

Second Sundays:  Youth-Sponsored Programming 

Each second Sunday of the month, the youth and parents invite you to participate in after-church

programs.  Sometimes these events will be led by members and friends of NCC, and other times

the youth/parents will offer activities.  If you are interested in leading an activity, please contact Suzie.

Teachers Needed!  The upper elementary/junior high class needs more teachers.  We would really

like at least one or two more.  The current teachers are:  Tory Dahmm, Suzie Hutton and Peg Kirk. 

The students range in ages from 3rd to 8th grade.  We base our lessons on a curriculum from

Teaching Tolerance.  If you would like more information or to volunteer, contact Suzie.

Here are a few photos of our hike with Mark Wyman through the Parklands on Sunday, May 31, 2009 --

thank you so much Mark!
