Sunday Youth Education

Sunday mornings during the Discipleship Hour, 9:00 am
Our curriculum is following the Narrative Lectionary.
All youth grades 6-12 gather together in 322/Conference Room at the start of class (9:00 am) to read the lesson and learn about the week’s theme. After the short large group instruction we break into a high school group and a middle school group. Each small group discusses the text, theme, and questions.
Each week families get Sunday’s lesson emailed to them to use at home or to later talk with their youth. Each lesson has information, questions to discuss, and “Home Reflections” with activities to do as a family throughout the week to reflect on that Sunday’s lesson. It is a way for your family to continue to engage the bible and your faith throughout the week!
