Mark your calendars for a fun afternoon of trunk or treating, music, petting zoo, games and food. Everyone's invited to this church-wide family event as we share the love of Jesus with our community! Sign up to host as a group or a family, and decorate your car trunk here. 

Please fill out this interest form for all Sunday School officers by 10/14, so that we can assist you in providing these curriculums, at no charge to your class, for Advent.

Both are video-based studies from Abingdon Press (Cokesbury). All the Good is brand new. I think you'll love the discussion among four presenters- three of whom are women - something some of you have been asking for!

This year marks 10th anniversary of Adam Hamilton's study, The Journey. Even if your class followed this on-location study from Nazareth to Bethlehem in the past, you'll enjoy making this journey again during the four weeks of Advent, discovering things you didn't see the first time.

In The Names of God, Melissa Spoelstra leads women on an exploration of the many names of our triune God—from El and Elohim to Yahweh and its many combinations to names such as Abba, Jesus, and Holy Spirit…and many others. As women study the names of God, their ideas about God will become more grounded in what His names tell them, and thus more personal, allowing a greater trust in Him to share the details of their lives.
