Bring Your Mite Box to Chapel

This is the final Sunday to return your chid's Lenten donation box. All the money earned by Church School students during Lent will be combined and donated to Heifer International. Please remember to bring your hard-earned dollars and coins to Chapel.

Heifer International helps under-developed communities around the world by purchasing farm animals for them. All the money we raise will help purchase two goats, two pigs, two cows, or more. The more money we collect, the more animals we can provide. For more information about Heifer International, visit www.heifer.org.

Church School Update

Here's what is happening in Church School this Sunday, April 22nd, and in the busy weeks ahead:

Preschool I and II

Preschool students learn the Parable of the Wedding Banquet. Jesus tells a story about a king who invites people to a wedding party for his son. On the day of the celebration, no one shows up to the wedding banquet. Who is the king in this story? Who is the son? Who are the invited guests?

PreKindergarten

PreKindergarten students learn the Parable of the Mustard Seed. A mustard seed is a tiny seed that grows into a huge plant. Jesus compares the Kingdom of God to a mustard seed. Why? Students will try to grow a popcorn plant by planting a popcorn seed.

Kindergarten

In the Old Testament of the Bible there is a chapter called the Psalms, written mostly by David. Kindergarten students will learn about David and some of his adventures, including his battle with Goliath. Students will celebrate David's love of music by making their own harps and rain sticks.

First Grade

First grade students will learn the Parable of Two Houses. Students will build two houses - one out of graham crackers and whipped cream, the other out of graham crackers and cream cheese. Which house is stronger? How do we build our lives like a house built on rock?

Second Grade

Second grade students will hear the story of Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego and the Fiery Furnace. Do they remain faithful to God when put in a scary situation?

Third Grade

Third grade students learn about Dorcas, a generous Christian woman who helped women who didn't have husbands. How did she use her talents to help them? Students will use their talents to make a special gift for the women at Almost Home, a transitional home for young mothers.

Fourth and Fifth Grades

Jesus asks his disciples to spread the good news about Jesus all over the world. Fourth and fifth grade students will learn how Jesus's followers fulfilled their promise to continue Jesus's teachings without modern forms of communication such as newspaper, radio, television or the Internet. How did they travel all over the world without cars or airplanes?

A Parent Link Event

Monday, April 30th at 6:30

Taylor Room

A wide variety of experiences shape our kids as they move through their childhood and teenage years. During this time, many young people accumulate emotional baggage that may be difficult to carry. What if, as parents, we could recognize the most common bags? What if our children could progress into their adult years with less baggage weighing them down?

Join us Monday, April 30th, at 6:30pm in the Taylor Room as Chris Sasser, Pastor of Family Ministries at Port City Church in Wilmington, North Carolina, and CSMSG's Parent Link consultant, discusses how to help our kids end up in a healthier place and arm them with the skills to walk away from emotional baggage.

RSVP here by Friday, April 27th.
