::GROWING IN THE LORD TODAY
THROUGH CHRISTIAN EDUCATION::

SUMMER SUNDAY SCHOOL - - - "God Heals in the Jordan's Waters" (2 Kings 5:1-14) was the lesson for our Sunday School students today. Students learned about how God healed a military leader from a foreign country. A topic to discuss might focus on humility and expectations of God. Parents might ask, "What do we learn about God from this account? How does God provide cleansing and eternal healing for us?"

Room Assignments: Preschool/Kindergarten will meet in the lower level where they regularly meet for Sunday school.  Grades 1-5 will start with a joint opening in Room 213 at 9:30a.m.  Grades 6-7 will meet together in Room 217.  The newly confirmed 8th graders will join with the high school class in the Youth Room. 

Teachers for today are:  Preschool/Kindergarten - Beth Adams; Grades 1-2 - Kathy Brugere; Grades 3-5 - Jane Robinson; Grades 6-7 – Joel Pike

Those students just finishing up 8th grade will join grades 6-7 today for Sunday school.

ADULT STUDIES - - - A SUMMER LONG adult study of THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES continues today at 9:30a.m. in the Family Life Center. Pastor Albers is the primary facilitator.
