BIBLE MAX-Kindergarten through 3rd Grade
Our early elementary kids are getting into the Bible and the Bible is getting into them! Children have a great time with exploring the Bible, singing lively songs, playing exciting games, creativing art and crafts, and eating tasty snacks. They are learning that the Bible has answers to problems kids face in daily life.
GRAPPLE - 4th and 5th Grades
Our preteens are using a curriculum designed especially to help them "grapple" with the challenges they face every day and help them see that the Bible has real-life answers! They have a special secure website they can access to share prayer requests and "God-sightings" - times they see God at work in their lives.
HEARTBEAT CENTRAL MISSIONS = Children helping Children!
Sunday School Mission offering is going to help the children at Navajo Ministries in Farmington, New Mexico. We are helping to support an 11 year old Navajo girl who lives at one of the Children's Homes on the Mission; and sending money to help build a new Navajo School. This is a great way to help children share the blessings they have with Navajo children in our own country who are in great need. Check out the web site at www.NavajoMinistries.org
