Adult Education
The church offers a variety of learning opportunities for adults. Sunday morning classes are led by the pastors, church members or visitors with expertise on particular topics. About once each year the church provides a lecture series, open to the public, led by a nationally known speaker.The Adult Education offerings for May through August 2010 are summarized on the Adult Education web page, available by clicking Here. Also, outlines are provided in the current online Stone News.
The (approximately) annual lectures are known as the Henrietta Perdue Memorial Lecture Series. For more information on these, including a brief summary of past and future speakers, click Here.

Church School (during Sunday Worship)
Children 4 yrs old - 5th grade attend the first 20 minutes of the Sunday Worship service (through the Children's message) then are excused to attend Church School. Exception is on the first Sunday of the month, Communion Sunday, when children will meet in the Fireside Room before service at 9:30am and rejoin the congregation to celebrate communion.
Our Mission project is supporting Heifer International. This year the children choose to buy a cow for the earthquake victims of China. Children, who can, please bring in quarters weekly to fill our coin tower.
Preschool Aged Children (4 year olds), Kindergarten, First - Third Graders
Each Sunday these children meet together in the Fireside Room for Celebration Time. During that time the children enjoy singing, sharing, and mission. Then children preschool thru kindergarten then meet in room A, children 1st grade thru 3rd grade meet in room D, where with their teachers will discover together God's word. The children will explore the meaning of Peace using the resource, Building a Culture of Peace Begins With Children during the first 7 weeks of the Fall 2009.Fourth - Fifth Graders
These children will go directly downstairs to room 4 where they will enjoy sharing God's Word through many interesting activities. Starting in the fall the children will create a Godly Walk, which they will share with the Stone community.
We always welcome visitors and encourage our children to bring friends with them to Church School.
