CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

     Sunday School is alive and well and we are now working on our next mission project, which is our penny drive.  This project is, however met with sadness, as the need is so great in light of the recent earthquake in Haiti.  Our intent is to not only reach out and help those in need but to also teach the children that not matter how small a penny may seem when you combine them with other pennies they can work together to make a BIG difference in the life of a person who has very little. Anyone is welcome to join us in our penny drive which will be ongoing through the end of May at which time we will submit a tithe back to the church and send the rest off to Compassion International’s disaster relief fund marked for Haiti.  Please pray with us for these people, for their healing, for the rebuilding, for the grieving.  Ask yourself what can I do to help?  What can I give?  There are so many options available and this is only one but I assure you it is a reliable one and your donations will be put to use immediately providing the basic necessities needed so desperately. 

    Our Adult class is growing and I was extremely excited to walk into the classroom the other day and see the room FULL of participants who were excited to be there and ready to learn.  Glenn Burleigh Jr is teaching our class this year and he is currently facilitating a wonderful program called God Is Closer Than You Think.  It’s not too late; it’s never too late to join in.  Come see what all the excitement is about and get ready to grow closer to God as well as make new friends or meet old friends and journey together into an adventure where God can show you something that He has just for YOU. 

Our next Sunday School store will be the last Sunday in February where, once again, the children ages 3 through grades 8 will get to cash in their points they have been earning for goodies in our store.  Again the points are earned by memorizing scripture, bringing their Bibles, bringing a friend, attendance and more.
