Starting February 4, 2019, in the Wallace Classroom in the Family Life Center, the members of the Living the Questions Adult Sunday School class invite you to join in a study of John Wesley and Methodists, the beliefs and actions that started the group of believers called Methodists.
The class will consist of some readings, some presentations, and an extended dialogue about what it means to us today. Travel with us from Epworth, Lincolnshire in 1703 through time attending Oxford, during ordination in the Anglican church, on a trip to the New World in 1735 to preach in Georgia, and onward to return to England, Aldergate Street, and the continued the development of a group of Methodists, in both England and America, as Methodism was born. Live the Questions with us in the faith journey.
We invite you to join us at 10:00 on Sunday mornings this spring.

Prayer and Offering in Sunday School
Your children are learning about prayer and offering in their Sunday School classes. We will now be including a time to take offering during Sunday School. In Sunday School, we have talked about why we give (because of what God has given us) as well as our attitude towards giving (God loves a cheerful giver).
We also talked about how, by working together, we can accomplish more than working alone.
We encourage you to talk to your child about bringing an offering to Sunday School each week. This is an excellent way to help your child form a good habit of "giving back" to God. A time will be set aside during class each week to pray over and recognize the offerings received.
Remember: There is no amount that is too small! :)
Your child should have been given an offering bank to collect coins and a coin purse to bring their coins with them to church. If your child didn't receive one, please let us know!
More than Money
An offering can take more than one form. Teach your child that her good behavior and willingness to serve others is also an acceptable offering. Some kids don’t have money to bring and shouldn’t feel left out and like they are not able to give to God. Give kids notecards and allow them to write down something they can give to God besides money, like volunteering their time or making a pledge to show love to someone who needs it. They can place this card in their offering envelope in place of money.
This way everyone can be involved, and kids learn that giving to God involves their whole life, not just their money.
