Youth Education

SUNDAY SCHOOL

K-2nd Grade - This class meets upstairs in our Education Building. They are always involved in something exciting - Great Stories, Good Music AND Fun Crafts!!

3rd-5th Grade - The 3rd-5th grade Sunday school class is studying the life of Jesus leading up to Easter. We will be learning how Jesus changed lives, what happened on Palm Sunday, and that everyone gets a second change and forgiveness with God - even Peter. Our Bible Stories will come from Luke, Mark, Matthew, and John. In our class, we read from our Bibles every Sunday. We also work in our work books, read skits that come from the Bible stories, do crafts, and play games. We are always ready for more class members. Come and join us!

6th-12th Grade - Lynne Bruce is currently teaching the Middle/High School Sunday School Class. This class has a very creative teaching approach. It has been noted that someone recently peeked in and the kids were drinking from baby bottles! They always have a good time and learn God's word in the process.

Our Committed Young Christians are planning to work in several different ways this year. They are going to be focusing on a Mission Project the 3rd Sunday of each month. They have plans to help with the backpack ministry, serve Thanksgiving dinner to our shut-ins, pack shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child, visit with members of local nursing homes, and lend a “Helping Hand” to members of our community in many different ways this year.

Lesson Plan:
Who is Jesus? & Why Jesus for Me?
Tweens may have heard the stories of Jesus, but they also need to know what those stories mean about who Jesus is. In Who is Jesus? both tweens who attend Sunday School regularly and those who are new to the church experience will explore what it means to have God with us in our daily human experience.

JESUS IS BORN
JESUS AND HIS DISCIPLES
JESUS TEACHES
JESUS’ AUTHORITY


7th-12th Graders:
This group will be led by Lynne Bruce and will meet in the Family Life Center each Sunday 5:00-6:30pm.

Lesson Plan: Why Jesus? By David Naser
Every one of our students will have to answer that question for themselves. Why Jesus? Why should I follow Jesus? Why should I listen to what he says? It's the most important question that any of us will ever answer. In the four powerful sessions of Why Jesus?, David Nasser addresses the tough questions that students have about Jesus and points them back to the scriptural truths about our Savior. The four sessions include:

1. What's the Big Deal about Jesus?
2. Was Jesus God, or Just a Good Man?
3. Were Jesus' Miracles Just an Illusion?
4. Is Jesus the Only Way to Heaven?

TRINITY CONFIRMATION for 6th Graders

As children enter the 6th Grade they experience many changes in their life. The church offers a chance to experience their faith on a deeper level. The word confirmation means "with firmness." Confirmation seeks to make firm what has gone before. It is closely linked to and dependent upon all that has taken place in the individual's life already, including God's prevenient grace, the sacrament of baptism, the Christian nurture provided by parents and the faith community, and the ongoing activity of God's Spirit.
