EVERYONE IS ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND SUNDAY SCHOOL!

The education program here at First United Methodist has been "under construction" over the summer.  We have made a few changes to the program which we hope will benefit everyone in the church and provide exciting learning opportunities!  Here are some things to look for as you explore our program:

• Bible Olympics program transforms Activity Time into a fun, yet productive Children's Worship experience
• Two book study classes offered for adults
• A newly remolded third-floor room for the Tweens
• A complete, well-organized and easily accessible supply closet
• Different  and revamped classrooms for Children's Sunday School
• New age group divisions for Children's Sunday School offer smaller classes and more adults in each class
• Confirmation class for junior high and high schoolers looking to learn more about what them believe and why

UPCOMMING EVENTS!!
September 17th:  Tweens meet at church for our first Tweens event of the school year.  Bring yourself, a shirt you can get dirty, and a snack to share!
September 25th:  Tweens room dedication ceremony during coffee hour.
October 22nd:  Tweens overnight trip to the Ropes Course.

Here is the new class information:

Sunday School with Tammy:  Pre-K-Kindergarten

Adult classes are offered based on topic.  We currently offer two options for adult Christian education:
Tim's class will be studying the book of James.
Doug's class will do a book study entitled "Why?"  which addresses the age old question, "why do bad things happen..."
**NEW Small group class available soon for a church-wide study of the Sermon on the Mount.

We promote Christian education and spiritual growth for all.

Just as worship is at the center of who we are as the people of God, so Christian education is a critical part of our ministry. Particularly in a community where education is such a high value, it is important for the church to provide Christian education. Our society, both Moscow and beyond, often emphasize secular education. Parents insist their children attend school Monday through Friday. Young adults and their families spend a huge amount of money getting higher education. It is easy to forget the critical role of Christian education. Moscow First United Methodist Church claims the importance of learning about faith and experiencing faith for people of all ages. As pastor I would love to see every person in the church, from young children to senior citizens, participate in some form of Christian education. Harry Eckels was in his mid 70’s when I started seminary. He was a retired district superintendent. He lived in the dorm when I went to seminary and every semester he took one seminary class. When he died, Harry had gotten every degree ever offered by United Theological Seminary. He never stopped learning. He never stopped searching and wondering. He will always be a role model to me. You may not go to seminary, but I would challenge you to follow Harry’s example and open yourself to the chance to learn and grow.

Grace and Peace,

Pastor Sue
