Faith Formation

2K-3rd graders will be learning about how Joseph Annoys His Brothers (Genesis 37:1-36) and that God is good no matter what even when life's unfair. You could say that Joseph came from a "good" family. They weren't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but his great-grandfather, Abraham, had passed his faith in God down to future generations. This faithful family was not always a functional one, however. For Joseph and his brothers, jealousy, rivalry, and anger broke apart God's chosen family. Even when bad things happen, God's goodness never changes. God is good and loves us through any circumstance. 

4th-6th graders will be exploring the question "How can God be "three-in-one"? Kids wrestle with the mystery of the Trinity and confront the idea that we can never fully understand all the mysteries of God. 

God, you're not just okay; you're constantly, faithfully, and forever good. Thank you for your unconditional love. In Jesus' name, Amen.
