younger elementary At this level the teachers strive to teach the 1st and 2nd graders what it means to trust Christ and obey his commands from a study of Old and New Testament believers, the Gospels and the Ten Commandments. This quarter's study, entitled Obeying God, will look at stories about the prophets and kings.
middle elementary Students in the 3rd and 4th grades will focus on God's design for Christ-centered living through his grace in the law, his gift of worship and the lives of early Christians and little-known servants of God. During this quarter they will specifically look at God's Grace in the Law by applying the Ten Commandments through a study in Exodus.
OLDER elementary The 5th and 6th graders will continue to trace God's redemptive history through a survey of the books of the New Testament. They will look at Matthew to John as they study the life, work and teachings of Christ in the Gospels.

ADULT CLASS OFFERINGS FOR THE FALL QUARTER:
(1)
Adult Bible Class
-
Studies in Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Jeremiah how he told the people to repent and bear fruit, to care for the poor, and what God planned for their future. It looks at Jeremiah and his call for people to have a heart-to-heart relationship with God and to spend their lives serving others instead of themselves. Prophesying during the exile, Ezekiel tells the people to take responsibility for their sins and not blame their ancestors, so that they may repent and be restored to the Promised Land.
(2) "Old Testament Characters" by Peter Scazzero This LifeGuide Bible study takes a look at the lives of twelve people such as Samuel, Caleb, Joshua, Hannah and Esther. It can help us live in the present by examining the lives of those in the past.
Their faith, holiness and commitment are qualities that can be goals for us. (3)"Tell the Truth" by Will Metzger "Tell the Truth" is a training manual on the message and methods of God-centered witnessing. "Instead of relying on manipulative and man-centered methods of evangelism, Metzger explains how to introduce people to Jesus Christ in a way that glorifies God."
(Phillip Graham Ryken, senior pastor, Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia)
We look forward to you and your family joining us for our Worship Services as well as our Sunday School classes.
