Stories from Sunday School (Uncensored)
April 3 Trouble in Paradise: Cain and Abel
"I'm not my brother's keeper," words spoken by Cain to God when God asked about Abel's whereabouts. So, the question is, are we one another's keeper? What is there to learn from this story of family rivalry and violence?
April 10 Sheep Patrol: Psalm 23
These words are recited and most every Christian funeral, so often that even people
Who do not have a connection with a faith community can recite portions of it...
"The Lord is my Shepherd." Why is this passage so meaningful?
April 17 Parenthood and Modern Family: Abraham and Sarah
Parenthood, family and marriage can be difficult at any age. Infant loss and
fertility is a silent grief. The drama behind closed doors is not usually the story we
know. Can you relate?
April 24 Warrior Nation: Story of Gideon
God is with you! Then why is there so much trouble? God will see you
through! Then why hasn't God already done something?
God can use you! Haha... who, me?
May 1 Beauty is More than Skin Deep: Esther
Body image issues, women's liberation, identity, low expectations, feminism, female
leadership...need I say more?
May 8 A Whale of a Story (or is it big fish?): Jonah
I love this story! Jonah in the belly of the whale because he wouldn't go where God
was sending him! Wait, the belly of a whale? That's a horrible place to be... and the
people God wants Jonah to speak truth and repentance to are not good
people. What is the point of this story again?
May 15 Special Worship Celebration of Pentecost!
Pentecost is the birthday of God's church! In honor of this very momentous occasion, we will have as our guest, John Purifoy, a local composer and musician. The sanctuary will be specially adorned in celebration of Pentecost, and much of the liturgy and music will be composed specifically for the worship service. You won't want to miss this very meaningful time of worship and community.
