Sunday Program Kickoff

Our Sunday youth program started on September 4^th ; we are back at our usual room at Woodside School and we are grateful to be in familiar surroundings.  The focus for this year’s teaching is ROOTS (of our faith).  We are covering Genesis from Adam to Jacob.  These scriptures passages in Genesis provide ample resources to discuss topics like:  the value of man, violence, terrorism, the reliability of the Bible, relationships with parents, God in charge of history, lies and deception, materialism, war, capital punishment, consequences of sin, sin is everywhere, jealousy, contracts and lawsuits, death and dying, dreams and angels, and a lot more!   Here is our planned schedule for the year.
