Children’s Education (Age 5-Grade 5)
Godly Play, a Montessori based bible teaching program is used to kick off each unit in a Rotation Model of teaching our youngest parishioners. We have a dedicated classroom for our children with a garden that they tend each year growing flowers and vegetables. Class meets concurrent with the 10:30 a.m. worship service in Classroom 3. Teachers Kelley Allen, Linda Jakubisin, Carol Alves and Cheryl Hooper will them escort the children to church to join their parents for the balance of the service. Each week the children will learn a prayer and a song that will complement each unit theme. Themes are enforced by arts and crafts, games, gardening and other activities. See the current schedule on the right.
Youth Ministry (Grades 6-12)
Our Youth Ministry includes Sunday Morning discussion group and monthly fun activities . Tom Irish and Kahni Miller are dedicated to being present with the youth each Sunday starting at 9:45 a.m. in the dedicated Youth Room in the Parish Hall building equipped with an Olympic grade ping pong table.
This year the youth will be using the “Nooma” series of videos by Rob Bell. The schedule for 2018 is on the right.
Bible Studies
Wednesday Morning Bible Class—The Gospel According to Mark
On Wednesday mornings from 10-11 Robert McClure leads a class in the Gospel of Mark. Dr. McClure is a Ph.D. in Latin and Greek and taught for many years at the University of California and Trinity Preparatory School in Winter Park. He has been reading the Greek New Testament for over 60 years. At his side is Jim Christoph, another veteran Bible teacher, whose Ph.D. is in Hebrew and the Old Testament.
This is a traditional course looking at Mark as a literary and religious document. There is no homework or tests, but outside readings are suggested. There is weekly continuity, but you are welcome to come whenever you are able.
Tuesday Night Bible Study Discussion: The Revelation of John
Gathering at 6:30 p.m. each week in the Conference Room, we read slowly and carefully verse by verse the book of the Revelation to John and consider this book in the wider scope of the Apocalyptic tradition of literature. Dr. Jim Christoph has taught Apocalyptic literature in his 30 year tenure as a professor of Hebrew and Old Testament studies at Warner University in Lake Wales, FL and brings his expertise to the table for discussion.
