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

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:
