SUNDAY
SCHOOL
“Train
up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will
not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)
A
dedicated group of teachers nurture the faith of St. Paul’s
children in our weekly Children’s Ministry Program. Over the
past two years the children have studied 'Heroes of the Bible' and
'Jesus’ Parables'. This year we will be trying a new curriculum
with an adaptation of the Rotation Model. 'God’s Miracles'
will be the focus of each lesson.
YOUTH
ACTIVITIES
This
year our Sunday morning “Teen Talk” class will be using
a series of videos and discussion starters by Rob Bell, as they
explore topics of faith that they face regularly as teens. Rob Bell
is the founding pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grandville,
Michigan, one of the fastest growing churches in North American
history. He has travelled extensively throughout North America and
Great Britain, speaking about contemporary issues of faith. His
"Nooma" DVD series on faith and life issues will form
the basis of our Teen Talk discussions. The name "Nooma"
is derived from a Greek word referring to the interaction between
humans and God.
Also of interest to youth is a youth group which meets on a regular
basis for food, fun and fellowship. Exchange trips to Vilna, Alberta
and Norman Wells, Northwest Territories, as well as retreat weekends
have been highlights of our recent activities. We look forward to
more exciting adventures in the future!
Children and Youth are an important part of St. Paul’s church
family, and we strive to do all we can to make them feel welcome
and at home!
