Updated Sunday School Model!
Sunday School is going to look a little different this year and we need your help! Each week will be treated like a mini VBS - because who doesn't love VBS! We will interact with a Bible Story to really engage and learn with all of our senses. We'll start with music, the Bible story and then break into different rotations. One week these could be art and cooking or science and games - the options are endless!
In order for this to be successful - we need people to lead these rotations. If you love art projects, sign up for an art rotations or all of them! Or if you love science, sign up for those. It's a commitment, but a commitment on your terms and schedules. This is a way to fulfill your promises that you made while each of these little ones were baptized.
To see the dates and the topics, we have a sign up in the narthex. If you'd like more information, either call the office or send Jenny an email.
There are supplies that we need for the year as well - an Amazon wish list has been created! https://a.co/1OA0pMO Thank you for your support!

Our lives are made up of small, daily decisions that eventually shape our character. Jesus highlights this principle in Luke 16:10, “Whoever is faithful in little things will be faithful in large ones.”
We are inviting each of you to participate in monthly experiment that will engage and encourage you to look at stewardship in a whole new way.
We are roughly half way through our yearly Stewardship Experiments and we couldn't be more excited to hear your reflections. Below you will find a recap of the experiments and a chance to fill in your thoughts and experiences for each one so far. If you missed a few months, just let us know, we have extras!
September's experiment is ready for pick up! Prayer is an important part of our faith and this month we're giving you some resources to say some prayers for our neighbors.
If you haven't picked up the last few months of experiments, they are available at church
