What We're Studying

October: The Patriarchs
In our second month of Bible survey, we turn to the Patriarchs of the nation of Israel, as God continues his work toward the salvation of mankind. As we study about Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, we will learn about trusting God and treating others with kindness and fairness. 

September: The Beginning
We're beginning a new Sunday School year and a brand new type of study as we start a year-long survey of the Bible, from creation in Genesis to the early churches in the book of Acts. In September we will learn about the first six chapters of Genesis, as we look at the creation, the fall of Adam and Eve, the tragedy of Cain and Abel, and God's preservation of Noah and his family.

August: Teach Me
Featuring the Sermon on the Mount, our August study is about Jesus teaching His followers what He wants them to know.  We will learn about our personal attitudes, prayer, trusting God, following God's plan for our lives, and telling others about Jesus.

July: I Can Do That!
God makes His power available to us as needed to serve Him.  We turn to the book of Acts to see how Christians were able to do great things as they followed God's leadership.  We will learn from Stephen, Paul, and Barnabas as they accomplish great things for God, through His strength.

June: God Can Do That!
This month we'll learn about the awesome power of God--who can do anything! By studying several Old Testament Bible personalities, we will discover God's power as displayed at Jericho, in David's victory over Goliath, in Elijah's experience of God in the still, small voice, in giving Daniel wisdom to interpreting the handwriting on the wall, and in forgiving both Jonah and the Ninevites.

May: You Gotta Love 'Em
In May we will learn important lessons about helping, getting along with, and loving our family, emphasizing brothers and sisters and parents.  Lessons from four Old Testament families will help us learn God's plan for families, as we study Moses and his sister Miriam, Ruth, Moses' charge to Israelite families, and Jesus in the Temple.

April: One Body
This month we will learn about the body of Christ, the church.  We will learn about how one becomes part of the body of Christ, about the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper that we celebrate together, and about the importance of serving through the church.

March: Jesus the Savior
As we get ready to celebrate Easter, we will learn about the latter part of Jesus' ministry.  Starting with Peter's confession that Jesus is the Son of God, we will study raising Lazarus from the dead, the Triumphal Entry, the Crucifixion and Resurrection, and the Ascension.

February: What to Do?
This month follows on to our January theme as we learn from several Bible characters some more of the things God wants us to do.  Our sessions include telling the truth, helping other people, serving others, and loving others.

January: The Bible Tells Me
The Bible is our very best source for finding out the best way to live, for it is God's letter or book of instructions to us in how He has designed our lives to be lived.  From Old and New Testament characters, we will learn this month how the Bible can help us make good choices, be courageous, show mercy, and learn how to become a Christian.

December: God's Gift
Starting with the prophets who foretold the coming of Jesus, we will learn about the angels who announced His birth to Mary and Joseph, the shepherds who were the first to receive the good news, Anna and Simeon who were awaiting the fulfillment of the promise, and the wise men who came to worship Jesus with their special gifts.

November: God's Word
From Old and New Testament stories, we will learn that God's Word is eternal, is inspired, will help us live and avoid temptation, and will guide us in living in ways that please God.  Events from the lives of King Josiah, of the Prophet Jeremiah, and of Jesus will help us learn these truths.
