Summer Sunday School for
Preschool & Elementary Age Children
|
|
|
Children’s Ministry began their Sunday School in the Summer series! Elementary aged children have a video from Jay Whitman, and preschool aged children have a video from Karen Mayes. Both will be teaching a new Sunday School lesson each week.
Along with the videos, Children’s Ministry has a parent page with discussion questions and important takeaways that go with each lesson. We encourage parents to dive into these lessons with their children. Although we are sad to not be together, it is an unusual blessing to be able to sit with your children and participate in their Sunday School class with them. You can watch the video together and have some valuable teaching moments while you listen to the story being told.

RTS Paideia Center Book Discussion
|
|
|
In partnership with the RTS Paideia Center for Theological Discipleship, Christ Covenant is hosting a theological reading group this Fall. Do you desire a rich theological diet so you can develop maturity in Christ? Do you want to read Christian classics but don’t know where to start? Would you like to grow with people who share your love for theology and learn from those who have gone before you? If this is you, join the Paideia Center book discussion! In the Fall, we will read and discuss Augustine’s
Confessions, a book every Christian should read - and reread - in their lifetime. For this Fall’s group, we hope to meet three times, September 16, October 21, November 18. If so, register today at
http://paideiacenter.com/.
