March:
In the Beginning
The first part of March will bring a study of Genesis and God's
creation of the universe. We will look at the creation week, with
special attention to God's creation of mankind and to the Fall. Because
Palm Sunday is the last Sunday of March, that Sunday session covering Palm
Sunday will tie in with the April unit on the events around Easter. |

February:
The Miracle Worker
This month we will study some of the miracles of Jesus, including
walking on water, feeding the 5000, healing the blind, and raising Lazarus
from the dead. Our emphasis is that Jesus had power to do miracles
(something that only God can do) because He is the Son of God. His power
is worthy of our praise, and because of His power we can trust Him to care for
our needs and heal our bodies. |

January:
Church Then and Now
As we begin the year 2010, we will learn about the church--it's beginnings and
how we can be a part of the church today just as the first believers were in
the book of Acts. We will discuss working, serving, giving, and telling
others about Jesus as part of the church. |
|
December:
The Greatest Gift
Starting with the prophets who foretold the coming of Jesus, we
will learn about the angels who announced His birth to Mary and Joseph, the
shepherds who were the first to receive the good news, and the wise men who
came to worship Jesus with their special gifts. |
|
November:
God's Power
The more we understand what God is like, the more we can know that we
can depend on Him for everything we need. In December we will look at
the awesome power of God, as we learn from Old Testament characters how God
give us courage (David), power over fear (Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego),
wisdom and protection (Daniel), and takes care of us (Jonah). |
|
October:
Live Like Jesus
Jesus is our example for how to live the abundant life that God intends
for each of us. This month we will learn about four ways that Jesus gave
us examples of living to please God: showing Love to the Samaritan woman at
the well; Caring for others in the parable of the Good Samaritan; Forgiving
the lame man let through the roof in Capernaum; and Serving others as Jesus
washed the disciples' feet. |
|
September:
The Word
This month marks the start of a new Sunday School year and a new class.
We will start off on the right foot by learning about the Bible -- that we
should respect the Bible, read and learn from it, know and apply its
teachings, and obey God's commands. Stories about Josiah, Ezra, and
Moses from the Old Testament complement Jesus' use of scripture in answering
Satan's temptations in the New Testament as we see important examples of the
role of scripture in spiritual history. |
|
August: The First Missionaries
We conclude our year-long Bible survey this month by learning about
the missionary journeys of Paul and his associates. Our emphasis will be
on missions and evangelism, as well as trusting God in all things. This
is the last month of our school year. |
|
July: The Acts
This month continues our New Testament survey with some important stories
of the early church. We will learn about Pentecost and the first church;
the conversion of Saul and of Cornelius; and the rescue of Peter from prison.
|
|
June: Jesus' Parables and Miracles
As we begin the last quarter of our school year, we continue our
Bible survey by learning about some of the parables that Jesus used to teach
about God's Kingdom and some of the miracles He performed to minister to
people in special ways. |
|
May: Jesus' Early Ministry
This month begins the normal part of our New Testament survey (we
had studied Jesus' birth in December). We will learn about the early
years of Jesus' life, beginning with the only story in the Bible of Jesus as a
boy. We will then study John the Baptist and Jesus' baptism, Jesus'
temptation, the call of the disciples, and one of the first miracles that
Jesus performed. |
|
April: Jesus the Savior
This month we start our New Testament survey, skipping ahead so we can
celebrate Easter Sunday by studying about the Crucifixion and Resurrection of
Jesus. We will look at three other events that help us to know that
Jesus is the Savior of the world. We can say with the early Christians,
"The Lord is risen! He is risen indeed!" |
