Christian Education
Children's Sunday School
Our Sunday School program for children ages 4-12 includes stories, crafts and
music. After "A Time for Children" during the worship service, children are
led to their own classroom downstairs to participate in planned activities.
Children's Sunday School is not held in July and August.
Emmanuel complies with the Safe Church Policy.

Youth Group
A way for the younger generation to become more engaged in their faith and the community, the Youth re-grouped in 2022. Participants held a picnic and planned the theme for a booth at the Codorus State Park's Trail of Treats, helped with set-up and volunteered at the event. More activities are planned.
​
Adult Bible Study
​Led by the pastor, an adult class is held October through May on Tuesdays
at 1:30 pm in the Pastor's Parlor and at 7 pm on Zoom. All are welcome! ​
Email the church office to join the evening sessions.
The Learning Hour - Adult Sunday School
This group meets Sunday mornings before worship, from September through May in Bowers Chapel and by Zoom for lively book discussions. Jesus himself once asked the disciples, "Who do people say that I am?" How would your personal, religious and social understanding of Jesus prompt you to respond to this question? Do you have one or more perspectives about Jesus' life and ministry? Whatever your responses, let the Learning Hour give you an opportunity to know Jesus better.
Learning Hour discussions for the 2023-2024 sessions included these titles: "The Amen Effect: Ancient Wisdom to Mend Our Broken Hearts and World" by Sharon Brous; "Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again" by Rachel Held Evans; and "Wake Up to Wonder: 22 Invitations to Amazement in the Everyday" by Karen Wright Marsh.
