We are currently using The Whole People of God curriculum. This curriculum follows the weekly Lectionary scripture texts, the same as is most often used in worship. This allows for consistency for families in the week to follow, since most often the Church School focus is the same as our worship focus.
The curriculum is set up in
six-week units, and teachers rotate with each unit. This allows for
the children to get to know more of our adults, encourages more adults
to be involved in teaching, and permits our adult teachers to
participate in our educational ministries and be fed through worship.
This Bible Study is an opportunity to explore the Lectionary text or the focus text for the following Sunday. It is informal and dialogical in nature. We value and encourage a variety of voices, as well as a variety of theological interpretations. Theology or thinking about God is not just the work of the clergy, but of all people. And as we study, share, and reflect on our scripture texts, we can be stretched and challenged to integrate our faith into our daily living and our on going ministry.
Book studies and interest groups will be periodic, and will vary in length and times. They will form out of our dialogue and community interests, issues, and contexts. For information about these offerings, watch our News and Events calendar and our newsletter.
