Sunday School- New Year, New Classes

We are pleased to announce that we have some made some changes/additions to our Sunday School programs.

The Children's Sunday School (Pre-K - 5th grade) will be following the rotation model as explained on www.rotation.org. The children will have one lesson for 5 weeks. Each week, they will go to a different activity that will be related to the story. They will be split up into age groups except on week 5- cooking. The rotation will start over after every 5 weeks and a new lesson will be taught.
See the schedule here for the first rotation. 

We have also added a new Adult Sunday School Class.

White Christmas December 6th for Garner Area Ministries

Our Annual White Christmas Collection of food and monetary donations will be held during Worship on December 6th. This is our normal collection date but we would like to have an Extra Large collection of food to help meet the needs of the community during the Christmas Season. It is especially important now as Garner Area Ministries was broken into and $5000 was stolen from them. That money could have supplied two months worth of food or paid 30 power bills. They need our help now more than ever as the winter approaches.

Here is the link to the article. http://wncn.com/2015/11/24/thief-steals-nearly-5000-from-wake-county-ministries-charity/

Let's rally together again and help GAM recover from their loss plus some.

Operation Christmas Child

Our congregation really stepped it up this year. In previous years, we have fallen short of our goal of 100 boxes. This year we exceeded that goal and 123 were turned in on Sunday, November 22 during the worship hour.

I am also aware of at least 4 more boxes that couldn't make it on Sunday but are being dropped off today at a distribution center. This brings our total overall to 127! This is amazing. It just proves that when our church is given a challenge, we can meet it and exceed it.
