The 4th, 5th & 6th Grade Sunday School Class

Class begins with a time for the children to share what happened in their lives during the past week. This sharing process gives them a chance to learn the importance of confidentiality. Next comes the lesson followed by a game of dodge ball and snack. Brad and Kelly Scotten feel that by combining personal sharing at the beginning of class with a competitive game at the end, the students develop closer relationships.

Christians in the World, a Sunday Morning Class for Adults

Christians in the World is a Sunday School group of adults who share ideas and relate scripture to the news. Twice a month we meet in the chapel to review the "Wired Word" or other readings and discuss current events from a Christian perspective. We reflect how our daily lives intersect with the global community. In the last few months we have studied disasters, school events, veterans, ministry, poverty, the Christmas season, and the environment. It is a fun dialogue inwhich everyone contributes as he or she is comfortable. Some people come as regulars and some come once in a while - you cannot fall behind in our studies. We welcome visitors. If you are looking for a way to meet nice people and get a refresher on world news and what the Bible has to say about it, come, talk, and listen. On opposite Sundays we meet very informally at Panera Bread near the corner of Wooster and Center Ridge Roads. We talk about the week, our families, and upcoming church activities (mostly we meet in fellowship over coffee and treats).

No need to sign up - just show up,

Jeff and Beckie Zullo, coordinators of Christians in the World.

Lent in the 1st, 2nd & 3rd Grade Class

The 1st, 2nd & 3rd Grade Class began decorating their Easter Tree today. The Easter Tree is a tree to decorate during Lent that reminds us of Jesus. The first ornaments were hung today. They were Easter eggs that the students decorated during class. Easter eggs remind us that Jesus gave new life to everyone.

I wonder what the ornament will be next week...
