Programs
Each
of the programs described below are open to all and each have many *opportunities
for further involvement:
Spiritual Arts

AM. These are followed by a "coffee" social time in our Fellowship
Hall. All are welcome.
Spiritual Practice by walking aour Labyrinth in quiet meditation or by attending special workshops/ retreats for learning and practicing spiritual disciplines.
Adult
Education
Adult classes are held on most Sundays and cover different
themes during the year. Other classes and groups are formed periodically
for purposes of Bible study or other specific purposes (such as discussion
on a book or issue). See our current list of Adult
Education Opportunities.
Children
& Youth Ministry
We believe that spiritual growth is an important part of overall growth of our children and youth. They learn about the love of God and the teachings of Jesus from the Old and New Testaments, and they participate in mission and fun activities through:
Sunday School: The schedule is as follows:
- 10:00-10:15 All children and youth begin the morning attending the worship service in the
sanctuary. Following the children's sermon the young people
leave the worship service to attend Sunday school.
- 10:15-11:00 Pre-school, middle school and high school students attend Sunday school classes.
- 10:15 Kindergarten through fifth grade students attend "gathering time" in fellowship hall, followed by Sunday school classes at 10:45-11:30.
- On communion Sundays (generally, the first Sunday of the month), ALL children and youth go directly to Sunday
school following the children's moment and return to the sanctuary to participate in communion at the end of the service
Youth Fellowship: consists of two groups for Middle School age youth and Senior High youth See our current schedule of Youth Fellowship programs

with the county and local agencies to provide meals for homeless, and
other material and spiritual support for those struggling to shelter,
feed and clothe themselves and their families. Please view our a recent

activity of our church and ideas to enhance our future activity.
Coming
this fall! The Cedar Hills UCC and Pasco Washington’s
Center for Sharing plan to offer a Servant Leadership Program.
The dictionary defines "servant" as "one who serves others".
This is a great opportunity for small Christian communities to study
together and discover their specific calling as servant leaders. Contact Deb habel for more information.
Deacons
We care for the well being of all and reach out to visitors and local communites by:
Member Care: Our church family sees
themselves as caring and supportive as we go through life's journeys.
In tough times such as illness, we see many providing support of all types.
In joyous times, we celebrate with each other. New members have a mentor
to help them integrate themselves into the life of the church. Church's
can be an excellent place to exchange ideas and opinions - as we develop
programs for the church and as we discuss local, national and worldwide
issues. We work hard to provide an open and safe environment for such
discussions.
Fellowship: Many groups have been formed
and events scheduled for education and fellowship. Every Sunday after
Worship Service, there is a social, "coffee" time. Currently,
we have two dining groups, and there are very active women's and men's
groups that meets on a regular basis. More Information on Adult
Education opportunities.
Outreach: Our goal is to share information about us, our beliefs, and our activities through such initiatives such as our website, ads, signs, and participation in community programs.
