SUNDAY SCHOOL PROGRAMS

September - May ... Ages Pre-K thru fifth grade will meet their teachers/guides in the fellowship hall at 9:15 a.m. Sixth grade through Senior High students will meet at the house for class. Classes run from 9:15-10:15 a.m. We ask parents to pick up Pre-K thru Fifth in the hallway in the lower level promptly at 10:15 a.m. There will be no classes the weekends of Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and Easter.

SEPTEMBER ROTATION SUNDAY SCHOOL ... We will start the season off with David. David was a shepherd boy who becomes a king! God used David for good work despite all his flaws. We are all faced with giant problems or impossible situations. Stop for a minute and refocus. The story of David shows how his trust in God made him prevail. King Saul had to be persuaded by David to let him fight against the giant. Dressed in his simple tunic, not in the king's cumbersome armor, carrying a shepherd's staff, slingshot and a pouch full of stones, David approached Goliath. He was comfortable with his simple slingshot, a weapon he was skilled at using. David's faith in God caused him to look at the giant from a different perspective and conquer Goliath. Goliath was merely a mortal man defying an all-powerful God. David looked at the battle from God's point of view. If we look at challenges from God's perspective, we realize that God will fight for us and with us. We can then see more clearly and we can handle difficult situations more effectively. Don't worry about "wearing the King's armor." Just be yourself and use the familiar gifts and talents God has given you!!
