Education & Fellowship
Faith Stepping Stones

One of the ways in which PCWS supports parents as they raise their children in the Christian faith is through the Faith Stepping Stones program. Faith Stepping Stones helps parents and children pray and explore the Bible together from birth through that school years.

Book Club

Book Club, an informal group that meets once a month during the school year, reads and discusses many different types of books and tries to relate them to our faith.

Bible Study

Adult Bible study opportunities are plentiful at PCWS. Presbyterian Women sponsors five daytime and evening groups each year using a variety of materials; some are just for women and some welcome everyone. Other groups form for a specific time, perhaps Lent, to complete just one study. Bible study helps us grow in our faith and connect with one another on a deeper level.

Family Camps

Family camp is a wonderful way to enjoy your family while also enjoying fellowship with others. Every January finds 40-60 children and adults in Wisconsin for a weekend of snow activities (hopefully), fireside relaxation, games and crafts. Summer family camp destinations and times vary: sometimes a weekend, sometimes a week; sometimes a few hours away and sometimes several days distant. Wherever and whenever we find ourselves together we relish our times of fellowship and worship.

Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible School transforms our normally quiet facility to a beehive of activity during the last week of July. About 25 adults and 60 children explore Bible stories, play games, snack, sing and create each morning for this exciting week. Children love the energy and the opportunity to bring their friends with them on their adventure.

Christmas Pageant

On a Sunday evening in December our children learn the story of Jesus’ birth by acting out the wonderful events. After donning their costumes and acquiring some beards or haloes, our shepherds, angels, innkeepers and magi lead us to worship our King.

Hand Chime Choir

Open to 4th-8th grade children, the hand chime choir helps children learn about music while helping to lead our congregation in worship. Because children have busy schedules, the choir meets for short periods to learn a specific work and then participates in worship.
