God Squad Sunday School Notes...

God has called each of us to share Christ with others and to provide a space where we can question as we study, a place where we can build community, a place where we can know that we are loved. We are SO excited about everything that is happening in Sunday School this season. We would like to share a little bit more with you:

K-4th: We are working on building a loving environment that allows for everyone to learn. To that end, Anthony Jay Houston will start us off in song and story every week. Your child will want to get to class early so s/he can pick his/ her drum, and we will embed ourselves immediately in "All Are Welcome." From there we will head on a quest. Each month we are asking partners to take a month and have a project with the children that will last for that month and connect to the story: a banner, a mission, a basket, a Lego project. Let your imagination wander in possibilities! We are hopeful that parents and church family step up to help with this part of the lesson.

5th: - To allow 5th graders to think on a deeper level and to increase the numbers for games, we have chosen to move the 5th graders into the Faith Building Investigators. We want to give them a chance to dig deep into the Bible and to have their own fun too. While the 5th graders won't move up to middle school youth group until they are in middle school, this gives them a chance to get their "toes in the water."

5th-8th: - Here is another place that you can choose to volunteer. Like K-4th, we are asking for a monthly commitment from teacher partners. These teachers will have a chance to dive into the curriculum, play games and dig into the Bible, all in just 50 minutes.

Simple Logistics for All
Class is from 10-10:50AM back in the Education wing. We are asking for you to pick up your K-4th grader at the room. The 5th-8th grade will be excused at that time to head to Fellowship Hall.

Sunday Morning Faith Encounters:

Our Adult Education class has been re-named "Faith Encounters," which I believe better reflects the purpose of that learning opportunity. We try to vary the subject to cater to different interests. Anyone from 15-95 is invited to join our lively and informative discussions, week by week at 10:00-10:45AM. Come to one or come to them all! Watch our weekly announcements for exact dates and more details.
