Hi parents,

Here's what you need to know to start online Sunday School with your kids!

1. We have ordered a packet of lessons for each of your kids.  You can pick them up on the front porch of the parsonage.
2. Included with the lesson packet are instructions for viewing the online lessons.  These are not live lessons.  They are prerecorded and can be viewed at any time.
3. We are also including a schedule of lessons. Since we waited a few weeks to see if we could start in-person, we are behind the schedule that is online.  We have included our schedule in case we are able to return to in-person Sunday School at church.  If that happens, we wanted to show you what story we will be teaching on the Sunday we return.
4. If you want to get started viewing the lessons before you pick up your packet, the website is:  online.nph.net/ss-remote.  The lessons are at the bottom of the page, and there are four age levels.
5. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact Pastor Plagenz.  You can call, text, or use the contact page of this website.

We have recently made a change to how our church services are post on our website.  You may have noticed that when you click on the service that you want to watch (on the "Sermons and Videos" page), the service will play on YouTube.  Hopefully the service will play better for you this way.  It also enables us to keep more videos on our website longer.  You can also still find our services on Facebook.
