Sunday Mornings at The PORT

SUNDAY SCHOOL - 8:45-9:45 am;  September through May

Kids

Kids at The PORT "Live B.I.G." each Sunday morning during Sunday School.  "Live B.I.G." is a curriculum which helps children learn about the love of God through Jesus so they can live their "Belief In God.” Using DVD's, hands-on activities, and resources that go beyond the classroom, dedicated teachers encourage children by providing Christian role models and by helping them gain a deeper understanding of Jesus and the impact He can have on their lives. We believe it is important that our children know that everyone at the church, young children, teens and even parents are always learning more about the church and about God.

Children's Sunday School Classes:
Nursery (Birth to 2)
Toddler Class ages 2-4
Elementary Class #1 grades K-2

Adults

Adults are invited to join together from 8:45 - 9:40 am each week (September-May) for a time of prayer followed by discussion of a wide range of study materials.  Currently (April, 2013) there are two Sunday School classes meeting on Sunday morning: 

·"It's  All About Grace" - The Book of Romans:  No book of the Bible more clearly illuminates the path of the Christian life than the book of Romans.  We can read and study the same inspired letter that brought life and power to Martin Luther and John Wesley, and the same Holy Spirit who taught them, can teach us.  Class Facilitator:  Chris Seid

·Comparative Religions: Religion is a central feature of human life.  This study provides a systematic and comparative framework for understanding the complex and multi-dimensional nature of religion.  It explores the many similarities that link all religions, as well as some of the major differences.  Class Facilitator:  Paul Richardson               

REFRESHMENTS - 9:30 am - Refreshments & Casual visiting for all - in the Narthex

WORSHIP - 10:00 am - in the Sanctuary

CHILDREN'S CHURCH

Following the Children’s Sermon portion of the worship service, the children (ages 4 through the 2nd grade) may leave the Sanctuary and go to the Education wing for Children’s Church.  Lessons presented during this time away from the regular worship service have anobjective in mind and are structured in a way to keep the attention of children while teaching them important spiritual truths. Each lesson includes prayer, a Bible verse and story, discussion of the story, an art activity or other fun activity, and a snack. Children are given a "Take Home" page related to the lesson to share and work on with their parents.

Children’s Church takes place the second through the last Sunday of each month, September through May. The first Sunday of the month is Communion Sunday and children are encouraged to stay in the sanctuary with their parents and to participate in communion.
