This month, the children's sermons at St. James have focused on the meaning and the purpose of the season of Lent. So far, we have learned about the color purple, fasting/giving up something for 40 days, folding our hands like a pretzel in prayer, and cleaning up/being cleansed by God in the waters of baptism!

On a similar note, our children's Sunday Schoolers have started learning about how Jesus journeyed to the cross. Week by week, we learn another piece of this great story that molds and makes us into Christ's own disciples.

Our time together also gave us a chance to hear from teachers and students in all of the Sunday School classes. We have classes for people of every age from infant through adult. Everyone is welcome to join us at 9:15AM each Sunday. We would love for you to join us.
These balloons represent the outward direction we want to take toward the community around St. James this year as we reach out and share Christ's love with all people.
We also painted seashells, made a big fish craft, and popped bubbles with whale-shaped party blowers! 
It's fun to learn the stories of the Bible and to remember God's forgiveness and grace.
Kids are invited to join us again next week at 9:15 AM for another exciting Sunday School lesson.
Each week, our elementary and middle schoolers meet at different stations. Whether they are in the Musical Playhouse, Creation Station, Biblemax Theater, or Divinity Diner, as pictured here, they have fun learning Bible stories together. 
This past month, they focused on 3 women of faith from the New Testament: Lydia, Dorcas, and Priscilla. Since Lydia was a maker of purple cloth, we spent lots of time making (and tasting) purple foods. We encourage you to bring your elementary and middle schoolers to our church to join in all the fun.

At our Sunday School Rally just a few weeks ago, the adults and the church kids went head to head to determine who is smarter. 
They were posed questions including, "How many books are in the Bible?" and "Who were the two sisters that had Jesus over for dinner?" and "What color was the third horse in the book of Revelation?" 
With one question after another, the children figured out the most answers, leaving the adults in the dust. 
The kids not only won the game, but they also got to share some Krispy Kreme Doughnuts as a reward. What a fun time we had together as we celebrated the start of another Sunday School year.
