Adult & High School
Words for the World: Poetry for Connection & Creativity
Park Dinger & Chip Pollard
God gave Adam the distinct task of naming creation, and in so doing, allowed His people to place their own mark on everything he has made. How should we think about the world? How do we hold our brokenness and redemption at the same time? Each week, we will focus on a poem or poet that has deep spiritual resonances. We will meander around with the poetry, connecting it to relevant scriptural parallels, and even, at times, allowing it to become the basis of our own creative writing. Come to this class because of – or in spite of – your interest in poetry, and we’ll explore ways to see the world that God has made through the words that poets make.
Technology
Shaun Spencer
This class will discuss ways in which technology is a gift from God and even a component in our calling to spread God’s glory. But it can also be used in ways that are dangerous and harmful. We will seek to know the difference, and to engage technology with wisdom and grace. This class will use the book “A Student’s Guide to Technology” as a guide in our discussion, available here for purchase.
The Person of Jesus: Dependence
Our culture often celebrates independence and self-sufficiency. Scripture, on the other hand, reminds us that our lives are wholly dependent on God as our creator and sustainer. Jesus models for us a life of dependence on God the Father. This class, the third in the Person of Jesus series, will look at how Jesus’ dependence on his Father, rooted in a deep understanding of Scripture and a life of prayer, shaped all of his relationships.
Fall Midweek Events
Wednesday Dinner
Wednesdays, 5:30-6 p.m.
A time for fellowship and a simple dinner.
Suggested donation of $5 per person or max of $20 per family.
Adult Small Groups
Wednesdays, 6-7 p.m.
This year we will have adult small group discussion groups with the goal of deepening our application of the Gospel as well as deepening our relationship to one another. Discussion questions will be posted on the church’s webpage that are centered on applying the message of the prior week’s sermon. For those that miss Sunday worship, audio of the sermon will be posted to the church’s Spotify channel.
Intergenerational Learning
Throughout the year we will also have some intergenerational events in lieu of our regular classes as we keep cultivating our life together across age groups.
Children
Children through 5th grade start together with opening songs. The PreK and Kindergarteners then split off for a Bible lesson with songs and other activities until parents pick them up at 7. After the opening, 1st through 4th graders learn the basics of our Faith through the First Catechism. Then they move upstairs for children’s choir. Our goal is to not only help our children grow as participants in worship, but also to grow as worship-leaders. Through this music time, the children will also prepare to join with our adult choir and lead us occasionally on Sunday mornings. At 7pm the kids move into either the fellowship hall or outside (weather permitting) for a group game until parents pick them up by 7:20pm.
Middle School
Middle School Youth Group (6th, 7th & 8th grades) meets Wednesday nights! Our lessons focus on the confession of sin. We dive into Scripture as we ask questions like: What is sin? Why do we need to confess it? How does the Gospel shape the way that we respond to our sin? Through Scripture, discussions, and practical applications, we seek to help the students grow in their understanding of God’s holiness and His mercy and forgiveness to those who believe in Him.
High School
Our youth will meet in the gym for a time of singing, a devotional lesson, small-group reflection and prayer, and a game (and probably some general shenanigans). We’ll be discussing the Books of History, from Joshua through David. A fresh look at the stories you thought you knew from a new perspective. Bring your friends!
