A "Closer Walk"

On Sunday 3/15/2009 Pastor Larry challenged us to join him
in a new Bible study program.
We will be reading the entire New Testament.
A BLOG (a BLOG is a web log) has been set up for both you and the pastor to discuss what you have read.

Click on the picture for a video of Larry's challenge.

BIBLE VENTURES
What has children laughing, singing, playing games, eating fun snacks
and learning valuable Bible lessons?

Yes, this sounds like Vacation Bible School, doesn’t it?
But, that is because we plan our Bible Ventures to look and sound like VBS!

Come and join the fun starting on September 12th at 9:30 a.m.
It’s for our preschoolers (if they want to join us) through 5th grade. We use the older kids as our
crew leaders and good examples for our younger kids.

Sixth graders through twelfth graders be
watching for what’s new for you!

We will be having separate classes at 9:30 a.m. for middle school youth and high school youth. If you haven’t tried Sunday school in a while,
think about joining us! Isn’t it time you really make Jesus a part of your life?
And not just a little part. Come and learn what that means.
You’ll be surprised at how exciting it can be!

Watch for “Youth Explosion” (our first get-together) coming soon
one evening this September.
It’s for YOU!!!!!

Adult Sunday School

Come join us for coffee and fellowship as we study the book
“Sacred Parenting” by Gary L. Thomas
starting on September 12 at 9:30 a.m.

Let’s look at parenting as a “holy and high calling from God, and as an opportunity to
grow spiritually as you strive to raise Godly children.”

Come and join us!
