Godly Play
In the third-through-fifth-grade
classroom as well as the junior high classroom, students will study the
Whole People of God curriculum. This curriculum follows the lectionary.
Lessons emphasize worship, social justice and inclusiveness. Teachers will
be Anne Foster, Kurt Gunter, and Keith Herndon for the third through fifth
graders and Paul Linton and Jay Morrison for the sixth through eighth graders.
 Don’t
Forget! The first Sunday of each month is Family Sunday
with no Sunday School for pre-school to fifth grade. All other Sundays,
children, pre-school through fifth grade, will have Sunday School during
the worship service. Youth classes will meet every Sunday at the 11th
hour. A Children’s Church Activity Room will be available for the younger
children at the 11th hour.
Calling all High School Youth! You’re invited to participate
in a year-long study of the Bible. Disciple Bible Study helps you relate
the Bible to your life as a Christian today. BU School of Theology Student,
Erin
Beary, will be leading the study Sunday mornings at 11:00. Come for
the fun, the friendship, and the challenge of discipleship.
