The Cherub and Junior Choirs sing about once each month September through May. They also prepare special music programs in worship throughout the year.
The Adult Choir is open to everyone and normally sings weekly.
Special Music - The summer months bring opportunities for solo or ensemble artists. Old Stone is blessed with many talented people, and we are always eager to have them share their talents with us, which can range from a 15 second piano solo by a four-year-old to a full service of music presented by groups such as the Olentangy Men's Chorus. Play an instrument? We would love to have you accompany one of the choirs or a hymn or present a solo piece.
The heart of the Christian gospel is the proclamation that while humanity continues
to be sinful, God's grace has been shown and been given both as forgiveness and power in Jesus Christ.
The objective of Christian Education is to bring the Word of God to individuals, so that as
growing persons they may be helped to know God in Jesus Christ, understand His truth in light of their
own experience, and commit themselves to Him through faith in Christ.
The aim of Christian Education is to nurture all persons within the fellowship of the church,
so that they will be enabled to perceive and accept God's forgiveness and power for new life as revealed
in Jesus Christ, and so grow in wisdom and in power, living as faithful children of God and intelligent,
committed disciples of Jesus Christ.
The task of Christian Education is to teach the Bible, God's inspired Word; present Jesus Christ
as Savior and Lord; relate the Bible to students' lives; train and inspire teachers and leaders; build and
strengthen the church.
Youth Sunday School classes are held during the Morning Worship hour (10:30-11:30) with the children leaving
for their classes following the Children's Message. Classes are organized according to age groupings.
The Adult Sunday School class meets at 9:00 a.m. preceding Morning Worship. The Pastor usually
leads the adult class.
VACATION
BIBLE SCHOOL is a regular feature of the Christian Education program at Old Stone. Usually held
in June during the morning hours, it continues to be a strong outreach program to community families
as well as for congregational families. YOUTH GROUP
activities are planned for middle school and high school age groups. Each year fundraisers
are planned so that in the summer these groups can attend a week-long Workcamp somewhere in the
U.S. Check our church CALENDAR for special educational opportunities throughout the year.
