Family Activities at the
Limestone Presbyterian Church

You and your child are invited to explore our church activities for all ages

Church School
Information about all of the church school classes and activities is on our Church School web page. Church School classes, for children as young as three years old, are from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. every Sunday morning. Nursery care is provided for children under age two. During the 8:45 a.m. worship service and the 11:00 a.m. worship service, children under six are excused to go to "Sunday Plus", a special enrichment time.

Worship
Each Sunday worship service includes a "Time with Children" (children's sermon). We have four choirs that rotate singing during our worship services: Joyful Noise Singers (2nd to 6th grade), Youth Choir (Middle and Sr. Highs), Chancel Choir and "Living Water" ensemble (adults). At 8:45 a.m. we have a Contemporary Worship Service with the Living Water Ensemble. Church School and Lifelong Learning classes are held at 10:00 a.m. At 11:00 a.m. we have a Traditional Worship Service with the Chancel Choir.
Nursery care is available for infants and toddlers at both worship services. Worship activity bags are available in the pews for children who stay for the worship service. "Sunday Plus" (an enrichment activity for children under age six, will be available at both hours of worship. During Church School, there will be a fellowship time in the downstairs kitchen for coffee and informal conversation for parents and others who would like to relax and chat. Come worship with us on a Sunday morning!

Four times a year we have a "Family Friendly" Sunday at Limestone. The sermon will be intentionally for all ages. Worship will include the celebration of the Lord's Supper, and children are invited to participate in this sacrament which helps us all to grow in our faith. There will be familiar hymns and songs that many people know well

Opportunities for Adult Learning
On Sunday mornings at 10:00 we have Lifelong Learning classes for adults. A Book Group meets the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Library. Adult Bible Study meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month at 7:00 p.m. in our church library. Everyone is welcome. Join Us!

Youth Groups
Information about the youth groups' activities and schedules are on the website: http://www.limestonepresbyterian.org/LPCYG1.htm. Our High School Youth Group meets on Sundays from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Our Middle School Youth Group meets on Sunday afternoons from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. 

Our Church Libraries (adult and children)
Our two libraries have a wonderful collection of books and videos for all ages. We are now giving a new children's book to the church library in honor of a child at his or her baptism.

Active Parenting
Active Parenting classes meet for six Wednesday evenings and are led by pastors Bruce and Carolyn Gillette (who are parents of three children). This series covers helpful topics including parenting styles, building communication, effective discipline, self esteem, and much more. In addition to the topics covered, this series provides a good opportunity to meet with other parents, to discuss the challenges and joys of being a parent in the world today. Active Parenting, 1,2,3,4, Parents! is designed for the parents of preschoolers. Contact Bruce and Carolyn Gillette for more information and the schedule of classes.

Women's and Men's Groups and Church-wide Fellowship Events:
Our Men's Ministry meets on the second Saturday of each month at 8:00 a.m. for breakfast and a program. Our Presbyterian Women have three groups (called "circles") that meet mornings and evenings for fellowship, study and service, on the second Tuesday and Wednesday of each month.

Please contact our church office (phone: 302-994-5646) for more information on all of these wonderful programs and other church activities for individuals and families. Our co-pastors, Bruce and Carolyn Gillette (home phone: 302-994-0220) would welcome the opportunity to be of service to you.
