FOCUS ON SUNDAY SCHOOL
This year we have a new curriculum - "Live
B.I.G." - the "B.I.G." stands for "Belief in God!" Joanne
Reed and Elizabeth Smith are the teachers and Alicia Young is the assistant. The
Sunday School program for agesthree through teens is being run as a one-room
schoolhouse. Everyone is learning more including the teachers, and so are the
parents who often stay to participate with their children.
The weekly lessons are divided into three sections: "Invite Them In",
"Into the Bible", and "Into Life". The program engages students
through Bible stories, games, art activities, music, and an exciting D.V.D. The
children meet Luke, Noah, Lisa, Sperry, Anna, and Armond at "The Station" via
the D.V.D. "The Station" teaches our children how to confront real life
problems and find solutions from believing in God.
"Live B.I.G." is making a BIG impact on Stone Presbyterian Church. We
encourage those of you who are not involved to come and bring your children. As an
adult, you can choose to stay and participate with us, or attend the Adult Bible Class
taught by William O'Connor. Currently, they are studying "God's Living
Covenant". If you have adolescent children, who are ready to join the Church,
there is a Confirmation Class taught by Reverend Smith. All classes meet at 9:30
a.m.
9:30 - Sunday School; 10:45 - Worship.
Family Time Begins with Sunday School and Church Every Sunday! Join Us!
