Opportunities for Children and Youth to Learn:

The fall Children’s Sunday School curriculum for most classes is We Believe. Throughout the fall, children will study Old Testament stories of God’s people as they encounter God in creation, the law and covenant relationship. Children will explore Israelite worship practices and study four Psalms: 148, 19, 23, and 150.
