Youth Punchwall Fundraiser Sunday
This Sunday after both worship services, the youth will be hosting a “Punchwall Fundraiser.” The wall will be manned by youth and will serve as SCAPC’s big spring fundraiser, helping to garner support for upcoming trips and retreats, as well as for our college ministry programs, small group Bible Studies, off-site bonding events, and Youth Group meals and curriculum materials. With various donation amounts and choices, the punchwall will allow you to contribute based on your interests and feel connected to the work we do with our kids. We hope you will consider contributing!
| | GiveNOLA Day: SCAPC Visionary Fund | | Mark your calendars for GiveNOLA Day next Tuesday, May 6! All GiveNola Day donations to SCAPC will be directed to the SCAPC VISIONARY FUND which was created as a repository for endowment gifts, thus providing important financial support beyond the annual budget for certain congregational priorities, such as benevolences, music, Christian Education, and property needs. (Please note that these donations cannot be applied to Stewardship pledges and will not appear on your church statement. A receipt will be emailed upon donation). Early giving is open now!

Sunday School Adult Classes
“Making Room: Celebrating Hospitality as a Christian Tradition” | led by Ashley Brown and Bev Church
April 6 - May 18 | Land Building Riverside Room | Recordings on Sunday School page
In this class, we explore themes of welcome, generosity, and the sacred art of making room for the stranger, challenging neighbor, the needy, and even those who may be difficult to embrace and welcome. Every class includes modernized lessons on hospitality by local expert and published author Bev Church. This Sunday's topic will be "Hospitality, Dignity, and the Power of Being Recognized."
“The Gospel of John” | February 16 - May 18 | Phifer Library | Recordings on Sunday School page
In its tone, structure, and portrayal of Jesus, the Gospel of John differs greatly from the other three gospels. It lacks the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord’s Prayer, and any parables. John’s story of Jesus is theologically complex, interweaving themes of light and darkness. He presents Jesus as originating “from heaven,” making him more divine that he appears in the other gospels. This Sunday's topic will be "The Farewell Sayings", led by Robert Edgecombe.
