CHRISTIAN EDUCATION NEWS
CHILDREN’S SUNDAY SCHOOL
Mary Wilkie is providing materials to make the children’s
learning about our faith both fun and substantive. Most Sundays the
children will join their parents in the sanctuary for the first part
of the worship service, and then go to their class following
Children’s Time. However, on the first (Communion) Sunday each
month, children will begin in class and later join the congregation
for Communion.

 The
UCC -- Past, Present, and Future
Please join me at 8:30 AM Sunday mornings beginning September 23rd
for a class that will explore the UCC. We will start with the
origins of the UCC and look at some of the hidden history that has
made us the denomination we are. Then we will examine where the UCC
is today, and finally take a look at the future direction of our
denomination.
This class will be an
excellent opportunity for those new to the UCC to learn about our
unique denomination, and it will be a chance for long time members
who might want to become more familiar with the history and future
directions of the UCC to increase their knowledge.

SUNDAY MORNING LIVE
Do you sometimes feel unsure as to how to react to the news of our
world? No, this is not an antacid ad! Rather, this is an invitation
to participate in “Sunday Morning Live” each Sunday at 11:15 in the
Chapel, starting September 9th. The SML group will discuss current
events and issues, how our faith influences our perspective on these
issues, and how we as individuals and/or as a group might make a
difference.
For more information,
contact Chuck Holmgren (#245-5870). |
 FIRST
SUNDAY NIGHT SPIRITUAL MOVIES
“Pay It Forward” November 4th, 6:30 to
9:00 PM
“Pay it Forward” stars Helen Hunt, Kevin Spacey, and Haley Joe
Osment, in a deeply profound film about belief, creativity, courage,
hope, and possibility. A young boy’s class project is to “pay it
forward” — rather than “paying back” favors others have done for
him, he reaches out to others who’ve never done anything to touch
his life —with only the request that they will respond by “paying it
forward” to someone else. This is a fabulous film, that informs our
hearts, minds, and spirits! Free Popcorn!
We’ll be in the comfy Gathering Space!
[AND...if you’d like to see last month’s special, “Peaceful
Warrior,” that DVD will soon be in the Library to check out.]
