Bible School

June 22-26, 2009

9:00-11:30 AM

We are excited to try a format different from those we have used in the past. Instead of the usual  classroom setting with one teacher per grade, we will be moving the children to different “stations.” They will be visiting the Bible Story and Memory Work station, the Craft Station, and the Music Station. A different teacher will teach each subject. We feel this will allow the teachers to put all of their efforts into one area. Each class will have at least two leaders to keep them organized and take them to their next class.

 Our theme this year for the entire Bible School will be Noah and the flood. All Bible teachers will tell the same story but adapt it to their age group. We will begin each day with everyone assembled in the auditorium for the mission project, some singing, and a short skit that will make the Bible lesson of the day practical to our daily lives.

 None of this could happen without the help of a lot of people! Some have committed to more than one position while others can come for a day or two. We are blessed that many of the youth  returning from a mission trip to Costa Rica only a couple of days before Bible School are willing to help!

 We are hoping to have more children from the community this year and are preparing for a large group.

 Relatives and friends are all invited on the last day to a program at 12:00 to see what the children have been learning.

 Bible School is offered to children from 3 years of age to those who have just finished 8th grade.

Mission Project

Goats for Widows & Orphans in Uganda

Thirty dollars will purchase one goat to help the  Christian Veterinary Mission in Uganda supply widows and orphans with a goat as a source of  milk and income.  

The requirement for receiving the goat is  giving the first kid born to the goat to another needy widow or orphan.  Christina, a Christian vet in the church, oversees the project.  

How many goats can we purchase?
