"SUMMER SUNDAYS"

Adult Classes on Sunday Mornings through August

Join us for a new spirituality study series at
9:30 am on Sunday mornings, June 8 through August 24, in the Bryans Room. The NOOMA
study is a series of short films on DVD, each of which uses our experiences to teach
about the fullness of life by tackling issues such
as forgiveness, discipleship, and unconditional love. Each NOOMA DVD has a one-word title and a 10- to 14-minute presentation about that word given by Rob Bell, the founding pastor of Mars
Hill Bible Church, in Grandville, Michigan, one of the fastest growing churches in American History. The name NOOMA is an English phonetic spelling of the Greek word pneuma, which is commonly translated to “spirit” or “breath.”

For the Children:

This summer during the Sunday School hour,
9:30-10:30 am,  we will staff the computer room
on the third floor, and children will be able to use the computers to fly a plane through Galilee, play
a 3D quiz game of the parables, enjoy a baseball game with Bible Baseball, and follow Charlie Churchmouse and his Bible adventures.

We Went Down on the Farm!

 Vacation Bible School

June 23-June 27, 2008

For five mornings, the children ages 3-5th grade enjoyed chapel, music, and arts & crafts related to the parables of Jesus, all with a farm theme. They made strawberry jam one day, they churned butter the next.
