A First Look at the Lectionary

Sunday School for Adults:

“Following Christ in a Divided World”
In a culture filled with conflict, anxiety, and distraction, Paul’s powerful words in Philippians 4:8 speak directly to today’s world. Guided by Scripture and Jill Duffield’s Appreciate These Things, we’ll discover practical ways to tune out the noise and live with hope, wisdom, and grace as followers of Jesus. Each week stands alone, so prior reading is not necessary. We’ll post all lessons on our YouTube channel the following week.

Sunday School for Kids:

Sarah Dann and Stacy Wallace guide the kids’ lesson this week: “Jesus in the Wilderness,” based on Matthew 4:1-11. God’s word helps us to stand strong against temptation. Crafts include prayer rocks.

Sunday School for Middle Schoolers:

Our middle school folks are back at it this Sunday! They will pick up where they left off, continuing work on their latest feature, “Moses, The 10 Commandments, and a Church Picnic Gone Wrong.”
