 Senior Adult Sunday

Senior Adult Sunday will be September 12. 

New Sunday School Class Being Offered

Beginning September 12, we will offer a new class for newly baptized children and those thinking about that decision.

This class will take place during the regularly scheduled Sunday School hour. The class is called "I'm a Christian Now!" If your child or children are in this group, we encourage you to plan to bring them. It will help them understand God's word and strengthen their relationship with Him. It is designed to help them understand the decision they have made or want to make and what it means to live a Christian life.

Each week focuses on a new topic, such as:

• Baptism and the Lord's Supper

• Being a church member

• Following God through one's actions

• Developing quiet time

This class is only five weeks long and will finish on October 10, when we will have a recognition ceremony during the 10:45 Worship Service for those completing the course.

Please call the church office at 865.475.3826 to sign up. The deadline to register is September 8, to ensure that each child has materials.
