GOD INC. (Summer Sunday School Series) 
Summer Sunday School has begun and meets in the Jungle Room during the 10:15-11:00am Sunday School time slot.  This summer we are starting a NEW Summer Sunday School Series called “God Inc.”  God Inc. is in full swing.  Each Sunday a special guest is joining us to discuss their job with the kids, and how they incorporate God into their job.  We have many special guests still to come this summer so please keep coming and bring a friend!!!

"GOD INC. Summer Sunday School is GREAT…come and join the fun!!! I cannot wait to see you all in the Jungle Room EVERY Sunday for some exciting guest and fun times!!!"  -Sarah Dukes

GOD INC. is for children ages 4 through fifth graders. Parents of children attending GOD INC. may stay with their children or attend an adult Sunday School class.  The youth and adult classes maintain the same schedule year round.


Fall 2010 Season: All Children’s Sunday School classrooms use the curriculum entitled ‘Rock Solid  ---  Building a Heart of Faith’.  By participating in activities, crafts, stories, and games, children come to a better understanding of God and what God calls them to do and be.  Children’s Sunday School classrooms are located on the second floor to the left of the sanctuary.

More about the Adult Bible Studies Curriculum
Several of the adult Sunday school classes use the Adult Bible Studies curriculum.  An official resource for The United Methodist Church, approved by the General Board of Discipleship, and published quarterly by Cokesbury, Adult Bible Studies is designed to help adults understand the meaning and authority of the Bible for Christian life.  Lessons are based on the International Sunday School Lessons for Christian Teaching by the Committee on the Uniform Series. 

Each week’s lesson includes:

A purpose statement that offers a focus for the session
The NRSV Scripture passage to be studied
A key verse to be memorized
A lesson that applies the Scripture text to our daily lives
