May 2017 Good News Spreads

Our curriculum will give the children the opportunity to dive deep into God’s word with the CEB Deep Blue Bible. This program is for children ages 3 to 12 years old.

This month the children will learn that they can help spread the good news.

Working to Serve! Discipleship Elder, Jeff Turner, took a group of New Life disciples to a Presbytery workshop on April 22. The workshop was called Re-Fresh , Re-New and Re-Create. The workshop offered us ideas on how to re-energize our Christian Education programs. Some of the ideas presented have already been used in our Sunday School program and the team will likely use even more ideas for VBS this summer. Our thanks to Jeff and this group of dedicated disciples for the work they are doing to help others experience the contagious joy of knowing God!
