YOUTH ROCKS PARENT MEETING
SUNDAY SCHOOL SCENE
There will be a Youth ROCKS Parent Meeting following worship on Sunday, August 21 in the Adult
Library. Corey Wright will be sharing his heart and his
vision for Youth ROCKS. Permission forms for upcoming trips will be available for your convenience.
Please make plans to attend this important meeting.
The new season of Sunday School has kicked off in
the Workshop Rotation Classes with this year’s theme:
Tests of Faith. More than just a story about a baby, our
first lesson on the Birth of Moses focuses on the three
women involved. Nameless women who have no great
love for each other but put aside their dislike to raise a
child.
The children will recreate the roles of the 3 women in
the Our Acts Workshop with Kimberly Crowe. Casey
Crowe will join in to video the plays, which should be
fun for all the children to watch. And just how does a
baby float down the river in a basket? Well, there’s
some science to this question and Gwen Keiser will
help the children understand the elements of water and
floating in the God’s World Workshop. In the Thou Art
Workshop the children will design their own 3-D pictures of the story with the guidance of Becky Jones.
And Ms. Cheryl will wrap up this rotation with the film
“The Prince of Egypt.”
The Workshop Rotation Classes are for children in
Kindergarten through 6th grade.
BUILDING AND GROUNDS MINISTRY
There will be a meeting of the Building and
Grounds Ministry on Sunday, August 21 immediately
following worship. We will be meeting in the Adult
Library. Please make plans to attend.
