Children’s
Classes
Our
Sunday school curriculum for preschool is
Heartshapers,
published by Standard Press. Kindergarten through grade 6
use David C. Cook’s Bible-In-Life
series,
published by Reformation Press. The publishers describe
this material as “curriculum firmly rooted in the Reformed
faith, emphasizing the essential tenets of the great
Reformed traditions.” The themes and Biblical references
for the 2009-10 Sunday school fall calendar are available
upon request. Contact the CE Director for more information.
Middle
School Classes
Our Sunday school curriculum for our middle school students
(grades 7 and 8) is from the Vital
Truth series
published by LifeWay. This is part of a comprehensive
discipleship series that provides opportunities for our
youth to explore 24 basic truths of Christianity. Here are
some topics that our youth will address this year.
· Vital Truth: Jesus—How Can I Know Jesus as a Real
Friend?
· Vital Truth: Lordship—Why Can’t I Just Do What I
Feel Like Doing?
· Vital Truth: Worship—How Can I Express Love to God?
· Vital Truth: Spiritual Disciplines—How Can I Stay
Close to God?
These are very probing and uncomfortable questions that
Christians of all ages struggle with. They are presented in
an open and safe environment that encourages in-depth
reflection and discussion. Parents who have questions or
would like to review a sample lesson are welcome to contact
