Recognizing that we are
all on a spiritual journey, we believe that
Christian education is important for persons of
all ages. In response to that belief, we have
established Sunday School classes that covers
all ages from the smallest infant to the eldest
senior adult. The following
classes are currently available at Mathews
United Methodist Church ...

|
Nursery
|
|
Not
really a “class”, the nursery is an
excellent place for those under the age of two
to spend time in a nurturing, spiritual
environment while the rest of the family is in
Sunday school and/or worship. Our Sunday school
nursery worker is JEAN WATTS. The nursery can be found
in Room 106.
