SUNDAY SCHOOL / NURSERY

Summer Sunday School Schedule

Children are invited to begin worship with everyone in the sanctuary at 10 am and then after the Children's Sermon, they are invited to follow a Sunday School teacher to the classroom for an exciting time of bible stories, crafts, and activities. Sunday School is for ages 3 and up.


Nursery:

We have 2 Nursery attendants present every Sunday. You can drop off your little one (under 3 years old) right before worship or at any time during the worship service. There will be a sign-in and sign-out system. The nursery is located on our lower level. If needed, an usher is always present to help direct you to its location. If you have questions about the Nursery, please contact the church office at office@packanackchurch.org or 973-694-0608.
