Our Christian Education Program, coordinated by
Associate Minister Rev Julie Yarborough,
offers Sunday School classes
for kids in kindergarten through fifth grade.
The program is currently enjoying a great deal of success
and attendance is high.

(Middle school and high school youth participate in our
Youth Ministry program.)
Naming Contest
We held a contest to find a name for our Sunday School program.
And the winner is . . .
"The Learning Circle"
We're still looking for a suitable logo, though, so
keep your thinking caps on!

The Workshop Rotation Model is a new curriculum format
that we adopted two years ago
for our children in kindergarten through fifth grade.
Each five or six
week period, we focus on a different Bible Story and use different
mediums to learn about the text.
(Click
here for a website that describes the
concept in more detail.)
One of our lessons was The Feeding of the Multitudes.
The children learned about Jesus feeding the multitudes with five
loaves of bread and two fish. They learned that Jesus wants
us to share what we have with others so that everyone will have enough
to eat. The children raised money for the
Heifer Project International
by making cookies and pretzels to sell
during coffee hour. All proceeds were sent to start an aquaculture
project for a needy family somewhere in the world.

The story of The Feeding of the Multitudes can be found in
Matthew 14:13-21
We encourage parents to read along with their kids and discuss what
they are learning each week. By the end of each rotation, we hope that
the kids will know the story well enough to tell it themselves!
