February:
A Prophet and Kings
Continuing our Bible survey through the books of 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 Kings,
we will learn about the power of prayer from the story of Samuel's birth.
Then we will learn from Saul, David, and Solomon, the first three kings of
Israel, how God helps us to follow His plan for our lives through giving us
our abilities and talents and wisdom to make the right choices. |
|
January:
Joshua and the Judges
We return to the Old Testament in our Bible survey as we look at the books of
Joshua (crossing the Jordan River and conquest of Jericho) and Judges (Deborah
and Barak, Gideon, and Samson). These people and events help us know the
importance of obeying God and trusting in His plans. |
|
December:
Jesus' Birth
Starting with the
prophets who foretold the coming of Jesus, we will learn about the angels who
announced His birth to Mary and Joseph, and the shepherds who were the first
to receive the good news. |
|
November:
The Exodus
In November we move into the book of Exodus, as we study about God's calling
of Moses through the burning bush, the Passover experience, the crossing of
the Red Sea, and the giving of the Ten Commandments. Our emphasis will
be trusting and honoring God in our lives, and obeying God's rules. |
|
October:
The Patriarchs
We continue our Bible survey with a study of the Patriarchs, the fathers of
faith whom God used to build a people, a nation, and eventually leading to
Jesus Christ. Our study of Abraham, Isaac,
Jacob, and Joseph will help us learn to trust God and
treat others with fairness and kindness. |

September:
The Beginning
This is the beginning of a new Sunday School year and a new class
of boys and girls. And it's the beginning of a new year of studying
through the Bible, starting with Genesis and going through the New Testament.
We begin this month with the book of Genesis as we learn about God's Creation,
Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and Noah. Our emphasis will be on
worshiping God and obeying Him. |
|
August:
Teach Me
This month we will conclude our Sunday School year with a study of Jesus'
teachings from the Sermon on the Mount and other New Testament passages.
We will learn that we can communicate with God through prayer; we can trust
God rather than worry; we can follow God's best plan for our lives; and we can
tell others about Jesus. |
|
July:
Tell the World
In July we will study how we can have a part in telling others at home and
around the world the good news about Jesus. Learning from the history of
the early church in Acts, we will study Stephen, Peter, Paul, and the Antioch
church and what they can teach us about fulfilling Jesus' Great Commission.

June:
God Has Power
This month we will learn about God's Power from the lives of four Old
Testament people. From Joshua we will learn about God's miracles; from
David we will learn that God give us power to serve Him; from Elijah we will
learn that God will protect us; and from Jonah we will learn about God's power
to forgive. |
|
May: Family Living
May is family month, as we learn about God's plan for families from
the Bible. We will study Miriam and Moses, Ruth and Naomi, Elisha and
the widow's oil, and young Jesus at the temple. We will also take a
close look at the Shema, including God's instruction to parents to teach their
children the things of God. The study
will focus on how we can each be a loving and effective part of our families
and help fulfill God's plan for the family. |
|
April: Jesus, the Savior
As we look forward to celebrating Easter on April 24, we will learn about
Simon Peter's Great Confession that Jesus is the Son of God, and marvel at
Jesus' miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead. We will celebrate the
Triumphal Entry on Palm Sunday, and Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection on
Easter Sunday. We can say with the early Christians,
"The Lord is risen! He is risen indeed!" |
|
March:
One Body
The church is not just a building, but people who are part of the Body of
Christ. This month we will look at how to become a part of this body,
and how to participate in it though observing the ordinances of baptism and
the Lord's supper, as well as using our spiritual gifts in service. |
