SUMMER SUNDAY SCHOOL
The Good Book Club June 4 - August 27 @ 9:00am
Who doesn't love a great book?!
This summer, K-5th graders will stick together each Sunday School class and begin with a great picture book about loving our neighbors and including others. We'll do it all in book club fashion with small group discussions to answer questions together and connect it to the Bible...The Good Book!
Games will be played, art projects will be made, and of course the occasional snack may be enjoyed.
Book browsing, book reading, bookmaking, bookmarks, and book themed prizes all summer long.
AND...Pajamas and Popt'arts' is back!!
Every 2nd Sunday this summer (June 11, July 9, August 13),
kids are welcome to wear their jammies to church and start in the Sanctuary with families for a Children's Sermon before we head back to Sunday School to eat poptarts, read a great book,
and make some really cool art with Mr. Zane.

2nd SUMMER Sunday of Each Month...PAJAMAS and POPT'ARTS'
The 2nd Sunday of each month, children are welcome to wear their jammies to church and begin in the Sanctuary with their family. After the Children's Sermon, we will head to Sunday School for delicious poptarts and amazing art with Mr. Zane.
Periodically...
On occasion, we will not have Sunday School, in order to give families a chance to worship together. It's SO IMPORTANT for kids to learn how to be in the service.
Check out this article about why.

What's Happening Outside of Sunday School?!
SUMMER READING FUN
Summer (June through August) is busy and lazy all at the same time.
It should be, as God calls us to take time to do different things and refresh in Him! Isaiah 40:28-31
So…be sure to take God with you…and His Word!...everywhere you go this summer. Grab your Bible or your Bible app on your phone/tablet to read God’s Word in all the summer places.
Contact Miss Jenn for travel boards to guide your family in reading God’s Word all summer long. Each time you complete a reading, mark that square off somehow on your board.
When your family has completed all 60 readings (YOU CAN DO IT!!!), bring the completed boards to church to collect an incredibly cool devotional book for your family…I mean, seriously…it’s really cool!!
Praying for good times with The Good Word this summer!
