On Sunday, September 9 we started exploring the
kings and prophets of the Old Testament.
Beginning in the new year, we are going
on a 'Treasure Quest' through the life
of Jesus. After Easter, get on board to
cruise through Paul's journeys. Parents
- don't forget to check out our family
days and join us quarterly while we share
what we have been learning!
Stop at the
Registration Station, pick up your name
tag and get ready for the ride of your life! Our Schedule
for the morning is as follows:
| 10:15-10:30 |

Register
kids - basement
of Education Building |
| 10:30
- 10:50 am |

3
year olds through 5th grade will
join together in a combined opening
in the lower level of the Education
Building (B06-B08), now remodeled
and known as the Jungle Room. Students
will celebrate God’s love and
learn to with
exciting songs, puppets and drama,
led by older youth volunteers!

| 10:50
- 11:50 am |

(pre-school
- sr. high students)
Pre-school through 5th grades
break into groups
by age and grade level to dig into
the
Bible
and learn about people just like ourselves
that decided to Hear, See and Live out
their belief in God. It's exciting
and new, and you won't want to miss
it! Small Group locations and team leaders
are listed at the end of this page.
Junior and Senior High Students
(6th-12th grades) also gather for
small group time. The Jr. High students
have their own personalized lounge
in the basement and Sr. High students
meet in the Youth house, which is
located next to the church.
These
two small groups meet throughout
the school year. They typically
study 4-10 week series on a large
range
of topics from making Godly life
choices to inductive walk-throughs
of specific books of the Bible.
Our hope is to help students look
at
the world, their life, daily choices,
and goals through the eyes of Jesus
Christ.

Be sure and pick up your child from
the Jungle Room!

SUNDAYS
ARE NOT ENOUGH!
Our hope this year is that we raise up
strong families with strong faith. Family
devotions and Bible story books will be
available each week that correspond to
what kids
are learning
in
their
small groups.
Please feel free to take them home and
learn together. Check out the newsletter
page for the current stories we are learning!
FAMILY DAY
- WHAT’S IT ALL
ABOUT?
We are continuing with our Family Days
this year! You will get to hear what your
kids have
learned, see some of their projects,
participate in fun family activities,
and celebrate
what God is doing in the hearts of
this upcoming generation. We want
YOU -
parents, guardians, and families of kids
to
attend Jungle Jam and Small Group Time
WITH your
kids on the following Sundays:
- November
11 - We learned about Stewardship:
tithing, giving back to God and sharing
what we have with others!
- January
21
- We went to Hilltop
to spread JOY (Jesus first, yourself last and others in the middle!)
- March
24 - We walked through
Holy week - from Palm Sunday to the glorious
Resurrection..
This year we also learned how to walk
the Roman's Road. Below is a refresher if
you would like to go over it with your children:
The "Romans
Road" is simply a way to remember the
Gospel. It starts with our "issue" and
ends with God's great "result." Try to memorize
these verses so as you share your story with those around you,
you can incorporate these life changing truths!
WHY
WE NEED SALVATION
Romans 3:23 "For
all have sinned, and fallen short of the
glory of God."
Romans 5:12 "Therefore, just as sin came
into the world through one man (Adam), and death through sin, and so
death
spread to all men because all sinned."
Romans 6:23a, "For the wages of sin is death;
HOW
GOD PROVIDED SALVATION
Romans 6:23b, "but the gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward
us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
HOW
WE CAN RECEIVE SALVATION
Romans 10:9 "If you confess with your mouth
Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved."
Romans 10:13 "for everyone who calls on the name of the
Lord will be saved."
RESULTS
OF SALVATION
Romans 5:1 "Therefore, since we have been
justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord
Jesus Christ."
Romans 8:1 "Therefore, there is now no condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus."
Romans 8:38 - 39 "For I am convinced
that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the
present nor the
future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else
in all creation, will be able to separate us from the
love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." |
Sunday
Classes For Adults
- "Scriptures
for Today" meets
during the "9:09" service.
The class focuses
on the study and application of
the four Scripture passages chosen
for the lectionary each Sunday. It
is currently on 'hiatus' till March 30 while
the instructor is away.

If you have only recently begun to attend First Pres. and/or
are new to the Christian faith, you are
invited to attend a casual venue get-together
during the 10:45 service.
This is a great place to get to know others
and to find out more about FPC while talking
about life and faith. The group
will meet in the lowest level of the Education
Building across from the Jungle Room.
