SUNDAYS AT 11:20 A.M

THE BIBLE IN THREE ACTS
Beginning Sunday, June 27

The story the Bible tells is the longest-running drama in the world, covering more than two thousand years of human history—and reaching into eternity.  The drama is presented on a scale unimagined even by Hollywood, unfolding in 66 books by numerous authors, known and unknown, in different languages, set in different cultures and kingdoms and countries over a period of more than two millennia.

One story?  Christians say “yes!”  Bernhard Anderson documents that response in a marvelous little book, The Unfolding Drama of the Bible, the three “acts” of its ages-long story.  Anderson’s book will be the basis of a 9-week adult education offering beginning June 27.    This drama won’t be a spectator experience.  Participants in the class will read a brief chapter (8-9 pages) in the book and four Bible passages each week.  And we’ll discuss these readings and our responses in the weekly class sessions. 

No lectures.  No term paper.  No exams.  No grades assigned.  No academic credit.  Just invaluable personal benefit for your faith as a Christian: a coherent and faithful understanding of the Bible’s story of God’s actions through history—and beyond—to save us and all of creation.

 Sunday Morning Live is a Children’s Worship program for children grades 1-5. Children are invited to leave the adult worship service after the Passing of the Peace and join caring leaders for a lively age-appropriate worship experience. On the first Sunday of each month, children remain in regular worship with their families for a communion service.

Nursery
Nursery care and carefully supervised play activities are provided by qualified childcare staff and volunteers for infants, toddlers and pre-school children whose parents prefer this.

Sunday Church School for Children 10:20 A.M.
and Youth at 11:20 A.M.

A team of caring teachers supports children and youth as they learn and grow in their knowledge of the Bible and their faith in God each Sunday.  For children Pre-K through 5th grade, classes use the colorful materials and creative activities contained in the "We Believe" curriculum that highlights benchmark Bible stories of the Old and New Testaments. 7th and 8th graders' curriculum explores basic questions of the Christian faith in preparation for confirmation, and Senior High youth are use the "Seasons of the Spirit" curriculum materials.
