PRE-K THRU 8th GRADE SUNDAY SCHOOL: Gospel…It means good news. As Christians, it’s all too easy to forget that. That’s why The Gospel Project, a Christ-centered, chronological Bible study curriculum for kids and students, is the curriculum we use. The Bible is all about the gospel. The gospel is all about Jesus. Go to their website at https://gospelproject.lifeway.com to learn more about it. Our school teachers are excited to be part of your kids’ growth in Jesus!
Sunday school begins on September 10. Classes start at 9:15 and ends at 10:15. All students are to enter by the main entrance on the north side of the education building and kids, 1st grade and younger, must be signed in and signed out by a parent. Pre-K through 4th grade will meet in the large assembly room first, while Little Lambs (2-3 year olds) and middle-schoolers will go directly to their classroom.
NURSERY: We love and care for your children! We are ready for your infants and toddlers in the lower level of our sanctuary. There are responsible, caring, loving adults along with some older kids who serve in the nursery each week so you are able to enjoy the worship service knowing your child is being well cared for. Every one of our adult volunteers has passed background checks and are committed to our church’s safety policy.
GEMS
We are so excited to be starting Gems back up this year for 2nd-8th graders. Our kick-off night is scheduled for Monday, September 11 at the city park at 6:30 pm. We will be combining with the Cadets group for a fun night of pizza, games and getting to know one another. Following that, we will plan on meeting every other Monday night from 6:30-8. Our theme verse for the year is 1 John 3:1 “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are.” Our counselors for this year are Justine Stap, Jodi Anker, and Karla Buist. Eileen Timmermans will be helping with crafts. The curriculum we chose for this year is called Loved. Our hope and prayer is that every girl that comes will know the truth of who she is according to God’s Word! That she is accepted, cherished, beautiful and so very LOVED! Gems will be holding a Spud Feed with the Cadets on October 9. We will be raising money for our Gems and Cadets group. We look forward to a fun year!
CADETS
The goal of Cadets is helping boys grow more Christlike in all areas of life. Our young men meet every other Monday night with Godly older mentors. They will have a great experience doing bible studies, earning badges by learning new skills, and enjoying some awesome outdoor activities. Our kick-off night is scheduled for Mon., September 11 at the city park at 6:30 pm. We will be combining with the GEMS group for a fun night of pizza, games and getting to know one another. Following that, we will plan on meeting every other Monday night from 6:30-8. Our theme and verse this year is Rooted and Grounded- “And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, … to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.” Ephesians 3:17-18 (NIV) For more information go to calvinistcadets.org or call Case Anker 360-318-5402.
