We are excited to announce the return of
Crossing Point for all 5th graders for the spring semester, beginning January 5, 2020.
Crossing Point is a class that will take an insightful look deeper into the Bible using fun and challenging curriculum. Taught by Cassandra Ricks, this class is a great opportunity to bring our 5th graders closer together as a cohesive group as they move towards youth ministry this summer. All 5th graders will begin meeting in room 202 (across from the cooking room) every Sunday beginning on January 5 during the Sunday School hour. Please contact Tammy Parks, tammy@fumc-rr.org, if you would like more information.

Wonderfully Made (formerly
Created by God) is a class for 5th and 6th grade students and their parents. It is a course on human sexuality from a Christian perspective. The class is intended to help open communication between tweens and their parents on this important topic. It deals with the basics of growth, sexual development and reproduction, providing an opportunity to obtain accurate information, as well as a better understanding of what it means to be
Wonderfully Made by God.
We only offer this course for these two grades, and only once a year, so don’t miss the opportunity for your child to participate!
Registration is open online for $75 through
January 6.

2020 Middle School Leadership Development Class
We are so excited to announce this new class that is being offered by our ministry! Starting in January we will be launching a Leadership Development Class specifically designed for middle school students who are looking to grow in faith and in leadership. We will be using the highly recommended
Habitudes curriculum developed by Dr. Tim Elmore and the staff Developing Leaders which seeks to
“empower the emerging generations with skills to lead in real life.”
We are so excited to have the chance to offer this study to your students and hope that you will encourage them to join us on this semester long journey! Classes will run on Wednesday nights from 6:30-7:45 pm starting on January 15 and ending May 6.
