3 and 4 Year Olds Set Excellent Example
We are so proud of our 3 and 4-year olds class! They
collected offerings amongst themselves, filled a big jar and then
presented it to the church! What a fine example they are to all of us.
Just as the Bible says, "... alittle child shall lead them...". The
excitement in their faces as they presented their gift was pure joy! God
bless them, their teachers and their parents; all who support and
encourage these little angels!

This Year is Our Church's 100th
Birthday
Celebration
In
2008 our church will be 100 years old! We will celebrate the church's
birthday during Sunday School assembly time. Children are encouraged to
bring their offering as coins, one cent for each year. If you are 7
years old, your Centennial offering would be 7 cents. These and any
other offerings made will be collected and given to the church in honor
of our 100 years of history. What a blessing to inherit the benefits of
the prayers and the work of those who have come before us for the first
100 years. May we follow Jesus faithfully and pass on this blessing to
those who come after us. |

Children's Sunday School
Sunday School is the place to be on Sunday mornings! We have new classes
with new teachers and a whole lot of fun! Come down to SonRise Village between 9 and 9:15! There is a class for you!
There are 6 age groups. This may change slightly in June when children are
promoted to the next grade level. The 3 & 4 Year Olds Class meets on
the second floor of the East Education Wing, above SonRise Village,
the first classroom on the right. They are taught by loving Teachers
and participate in many special Sunday School activities. The Infant
and Toddler room is the next room on the right. The little ones are
cared for by our team of church nursery professionals.
Classes are arranged as follows:
- Toddlers and Infants
- Three and Four Year-Olds, Room 221
- Kindergarten Class, Room 129
- First, Second and Third Grades, Room 127
- Fourth Grade, Room 125
- Fifth Grade, Room 123
Kindergarten - 5th Graders Classrooms are in SONRISE VILLAGE located on the 1st floor of the East
Education Wing. Each age group is taught by a dedicated team of Teachers
and Helpers. They are committed to helping you teach your children the
Bible and leading them into a deeper understanding of God’s love for
them. Our goal is to prepare each young person to face life’s challenges
with a personal relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ, and grow in
maturity and wisdom through prayer and study and practice.
PARENTS!
Bring your children to Sunday School. This is one of the most
important gifts you can give them. Provide the opportunity for your
child to know Jesus and to grow in his or her Christian life. Give
them the opportunity to get to know other young people who are also
leaning to follow Jesus. There is such a blessing in
Christian
Friendship.
Remember, there are also opportunities for parents to fellowship
and grow together, too! There are several
adult classes to choose
from, and a new Ladies Class beginning this week also! Come feed
your soul and enjoy good friends!
See
the Calendar on the
Children's Ministry page for kids
activities.

The house that love built . . .
POP-TAB ALUMINUM RECYCLING PROGRAM
Those little insignificant tabs you pull to open
your beverage cans make a significant impact to the
Ronald McDonald House. The tabs are made of pure,
high grade aluminum unlike the rest of the can,
which contains paint and other residue.

House by collecting pop-tabs, and then donating them
to the House. Collection can is in the hallway by

Careful! They are sharp! So don't cut yourself!
