Church School News

This fall in Church School and Nursery/Pre-K we will be using the "Spill the Beans" curriculum. The children will be reading (or be read) the same scripture that the congregation will be hearing during worship.

The readings will be followed by activities that explain and reinforce the scripture message. We encourage you to talk to your children and share together your thoughts and opinions about what you all have heard and learned.

In November the readings are:

November 5: 1 Kings 19:1-18 ("Go Reclaim")

Elijah hears the whisper of God.

November 12: Amos 1:1-2; 5:14-15, 21-24 ("Go Seek")

Seek good and not evil.

November 19: Isaiah 9:1-7 ("Go Walk")

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.

November 26: Jeremiah 29:1,4-17 ("Go Settle")

Blossom where you are planted.
