Adults- Spiritual Practices to Strengthen Your Walk

One option for adults during Sunday School will be a series of workshops- each week focusing on a different spiritual practice. There will be a teaching, time to experience each practice (if appropriate), some helpful ways to integrate the practice in your own life, and resources for further reading and reflection.

Adults- 40 Days: Living the Jesus Creed

Another adult group will be using 40 Days: Living the Jesus Creed. There will be a facilitated small group each Sunday during the education hour for adults to gather with others to engage in community with what you have experienced during the week. You can order your 40 Days devotional here. There will be a limited number of books available for sale for $11.00 each on the first day of class.

Youth- The Jesus Creed for Students

Our teens will be using Jesus Creed for Students: Loving God, Loving Others. This student version of the Jesus Creed has been formatted and adapted for teens and young adults. It will be the resource for youth Sunday School during Lent. Father Jedd already has your copy, so come join in during the Sunday School hour.

Children- Sharing God's Love: The Jesus Creed for Children

Children will apply the truths of Sharing God's Love: The Jesus Creed for Children through interactive lessons, games, and activities each Sunday School during the Lent season. Children will memorize the Jesus Creed and then identify specific ways they can apply the Jesus Creed in their daily lives-loving God and loving others.

Church Prayer Meeting

Sunday, February 27 will kick off our monthly prayer meetings on every fourth Sunday from 6-7 p.m. at All Saints’ Church in the sanctuary.
