"As we grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"
II Peter 3:18

Joyful Jewels













We invite you to attend Sunday School: a place to come in faith, grow in faith, live in faith and meet kids your own age.

Classes meet each Sunday morning from 9:00 until 10:15 September through May. There are classes for children three years old through High School youth. We would love to share the love of Jesus with you! Learn what He taught!

We're looking forward to meeting you soon! Check out the additional information below!

Purpose and Mission of Church School

To instruct children in the knowledge of God's Word and in the reformed faith, creeds, and beliefs using age appropriate curriculum, small group setting and nurturing relationships, so that lives will be transformed by the Holy Spirit for the purpose of making disciples of Jesus Christ who faithfully live by God's word.

Goals

Assemble the children- so they can listen and learn to fear the Lord your God and follow carefully all the words of this law. Deut. 31:12

We will reach students

We will gather each week Sept-May and present to each child the truth of the gospel as given in the scriptures in an age appropriate small group setting

We will teach students the Word of God

We will communicate the truth of the gospel in an understandable way. We will be intentional to guide the learning so that foundations are laid for a child to accept Jesus Christ as Savior when God's Holy Spirit leads him/her to do so.

We will care for students spiritually

We will love and nurture the children, encourage and prepare them for a life of service to our Lord. We commit to pray for them and be a Christ like example to them.

Sunday School meets each Sunday morning, September 11th through May 13th from 9:00-10:15 AM. There are no classes on the following Sundays (2011-12): November 27, December 18, 25, January 1, April 1, 8.

Prayer

Each class has a dedicated Prayer Partner interceding for them because we want to seek God's wisdom and strength. In addition, the teachers meet each week before class to pray for the Spirit's leading in their teaching and for the students in their class. Please pray frequently and regularly for the Sunday School Program.


Curriculum

Walk With Me

3 year olds - 8th grade, except 6th grade: These classes use the Walk With Me Curriculum from Faith Alive. We of course want children to know the stories of the Bible, but Walk With Me sessions don't stop there. They guide children to always ask, "So what? What does God's Word mean for me now-today?" And we motivate children to act on what they discover in God's stories. Sessions are designed to touch the hearts of both leaders and kids and to encourage them to live out their faith.

Rock On!

Joyful Jewels The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalm 18:2

Our theme is Rock on! looking at how rocks (and stones) are mentioned in the Bible. The classes are assembling a rock pile, or standing stone, as a reminder to God's faithfulness.



The Sunday School program provides a child 15 years of spiritual nurturing. Sunday School is one way that the church teaches about the love of the Lord and the salvation He provides. It is our prayer that the love of Jesus may be real to each young person and that they would become devoted followers of Christ.

Sunday School is a place for you to belong. A place where seeds of faith are planted, tended, and celebrated.

Come and check it all out!
