*K-6th grades will be using the Curriculum
Life With God
published by Good Dirt Ministries written by Lacy Borgo.
​
This curriculum is different because it is about true connection.
Entertainment has become the fast and sterile substitute for the
hard work of relationships. Children are hungry for relationships.
They come into this world looking for connections. For this reason,
this curriculum has not been written to entertain. Instead it’s been
written to give children what they need, what they really want,
and what they have been asking for if we were listening –
relationship. Relationship with the adults who love them and
relationship with Jesus who loved them so much he gave his life
for them. That’s not to say that there won’t be fun, or laughter, or the exhilarating
sense of celebration. Life With God is full of these emotions. Our focus is connection,
both to God and to each other, because that is what we are all seeking no matter
how old we are.

"Is the Bible Worth Knowing?"
Discover skills and resources to be able to dig into Scripture.
Experience the Spirit's voice through the contemplative practice of Lectio Divina. Ask the question "What is it really mean to be a follower of Christ?" Not all questions are answered with clarity in the Bible, but this one is. Let's dive into the inspired Word of God. Is knowing what the Bible says worthwhile? Come and see.

ADULT 18+
Fellowship Hall (Coffee/Tea ready at 8:45)
Come and join adults of all ages (young, middle, and older!) in an intergenerational opportunity to study God's Word and Ways together.
​
SEPTEMBER 10 thru NOVEMBER 19
​
Two Options to choose from:
--> 1st John Bible Study / Leader: Greg Vigne
The book of 1John is justifiably known for its most famous quote “God is love” (1Jn.4:16). What that means for us as followers of Jesus in 2023(4!) is often confused and confusing for those within the church and outside the church. To learn more about the context for that quote, the book as a whole and to appreciate the teaching of Jesus’ most prolific apostle come join us for a close reading and discussion of 1 John
​
--> Worship Connections / Leader: Chad Disorda
Read and discuss the scripture behind that Sunday's songs/hymns. Read over the scripture passages in preparation for hearing the Word preached.
