4th grade through
Middle School – In addition to being a vibrant, growing class, the students are also members of the
Kids for Christ Youth Group.
KFC is much more
than a Sunday School class. We do meet
every Sunday morning from 8:45-9:45, and we do follow a Christian Education
curriculum (Seasons of the Spirit).
However, we are also a service group and a place for great fellowship with
occasional youth activities outside the Sunday School hour.
This year we are taking as our motto “ … no people so small they cannot
offer mighty comfort” from the book
14
Cows for
Our class is spent learning how God offers us comfort and how we, no matter how small we are, can offer comfort to others. Thus, we learn about people in the Bible who followed God’s word -- such as the widow who gave her small offering, Moses who didn’t think he spoke well enough to follow God’s call and Peter who denied Christ but became a leader of the church. Then we try to carry out God’s command to love our neighbor through acts of service, such as walking in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, cooking for the Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless, and baking for a coffee hour for our congregation.
We try to relate all our lessons to the daily lives of school-aged children, discussing what even young children can do to care for God’s creation and for others that we live with or meet. In addition, we plan events during the year including a Progressive Dinner and an annual Lock-In. Everyone in 4th grade through Middle School is welcome to come to any or all of our classes and programs.
High School – There are opportunities for high school students to provide assistance to children in younger classes and to participate in any of the KFC service/fellowship activities. For more information please feel free to contact Tracey Waters at Lteawaters@aol.com, or by calling 858-9092.
Adult Sunday School – led by Pastor Harlan Ratmeyer.
