During the school year, September through May, study classes are held from 9:30 – 10:30 before church on Sundays for grades K-6 and adults.

Children and Youth

Sunday School  

Kids Connection classes are available for children grades K-6. “Teach a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6

Youth

For their third year in a row, the youth in Fall 2010 will be supporting the Interfaith Hospitality Network by sleeping in cardboard boxes that they have built on the Rocky Mountain College campus, learning what homelessness might be like.

They raise money to buy clothes and toys for Christmas for a family designated by the Family Services in a variety of ways. They advertise raise money for the Souper Bowl Sunday every year with the food and money going to the food bank.

The youth participate in worship and concerts in playing chimes, guitars, flute, mouth harp, and percussion. Individual youth are active during worship services serving as ushers, liturgists, greeters, and nursery attendants. During Advent, they light the Advent candles.

On February 14, 2010 the youth led the entire worship service. The theme of worship was on exploring our identities: what talents do we have to share? They presented a skit, “The Three Trees,” showing that God has greater plans in store for us than we can imagine. They prepared solos for the prelude and special music, beautiful prayers, and thoughtful scripture lessons. The congregation is grateful for the youth sharing their talents.

Two youth went to Triennium (www.presbyterianyouthtriennium.org) at Purdue University this summer. To help raise money for their travel and for summer church camp, a basket auction was held after the worship service. All the youth went to summer camp in 2010, one as a counselor.

Westminster Spires  

Westminister Spires is located in the beautiful Beartooth Mountains south of Red Lodge, Montana. Revamp the Camp was held June 10-12, 2010. This enjoyable weekend activity helps clean and spruce up the campground for the summer events. Camp schedules can be found on the Westminster Spires Summer Camp website.

St. Andrew Presbyterian Church normally has the weekend before or after Labor Day at Westminster Spires for Highland Holy Days, a relaxing, physically healthy, educational, worshipful retreat into the mountains. Friends and newcomers are welcomed.
