Sunday School News. Sunday School has started up for the new year. The Pre-K and elementary grades continue with the Spark curriculum that aligns with the scripture readings each Sunday. The SS Kid's Choir is learning the books of the Old and New Testaments through song.
The junior and senior high students are finishing up an overview of the bible using "Echo the Story" curriculum. Next they will study the prophets and kings.
Adult Sunday School is now being led by Lori and Arthur Anderson. Thank you to Kenn Mingus for many years of leading the class!

Buy a brisket! Our Men's Group will be smoking whole briskets on Super Bowl weekend. Reserve one for your party and pick it up on Sunday, February 4. Each brisket will yield 7 to 8 pounds of exquisite smoked meat. The suggested donation is $100 with all proceeds being donated to GRACE and the Presbyterian Night Shelter. You must reserve your brisket by signing up at church. Do so before they are all gone!
