Sunday School News 

The Sunday School year is officially over and we had a fun one learning about Jesus Christ.  We wrapped up the year with a bowling party at Inman’s.  We had over 30 kids plus about 15 parents bowling for a few hours.  We enjoyed food and fellowship and found out that there are some good bowlers at Heritage!  We also sang in church one last time and celebrated the last day with ice cream, candy, trivia and some time outside.  All the children’s favorite things! 

A big THANK YOU to all the teachers, library helpers, and substitutes for Sunday School this year.  Your commitment makes it possible for us to continue to teach the children of Heritage all the Bible stories and songs which are important for their faith. 

A blessed summer to all of you and see you in September!

Yours in Christ,

Michelle Michaels
