As summer vacations begin to blend into fall programs, big things are happening in our Christian Explorers classrooms! The teachers have been cleaning and re-arranging, getting ready for the new program year. This fall, we will be focusing on Jesus the Foodie! That’s right, we’ll get to study Jesus and play with our food at the same time. I bet there are Bible stories you may not have associated with food, but everywhere you look, Jesus is in the middle of the feast. Just think: we can go from breakfast on the beach to the wedding at Cana, take the road to Emmaus, welcome home the prodigal son, end it all with the story of the great banquet and feel like we’re as stuffed as the Thanksgiving Day turkey! It’s going to be loads of fun.
We invite families, teachers, and Boardof Christian Education members to join us for a special family pizza party with our associate pastor candidate, Karen Nell Smith, on Friday, September 6 at 6:00 p.m. We’ll have pizza and spend some time getting to know each other better through fun intergenerational activities.
September is always a busy month, we’ll have an outdoor service, usher in a new program year and welcome new faces to our campus. I hope you’ll join us—it will be good to see you!
