Coming for 5th Graders—Join us for Graduate's Club and enjoy Lunch, Games, and Bible Study once a month in the Community Building!

Once a month we will keep the kids after church Sunday morning. We’ll feed them pizza and snacks that we might not give the younger kids (Hostess cupcakes, a soda, etc.). There will be some games and fun stuff too. We want it to feel like an exciting privilege to be a part of this, a perk for being the oldest in the Kid’s Ministry. More importantly, we are also going to spend about 45 minutes digging into some of the most important themes of Scripture. We will finish up every time at 2 PM.

There is a program on YouTube called The Bible Project. A team in Portland, OR has been producing engaging videos for a few years that explain books of the Bible, important Bible words, and biblical themes in plain terms. We will use those videos to build lessons that will help expand your child’s understanding of how the whole Bible works together. Specifically, we will be watching their videos on the Law, the Image of God, Holiness, Sacrifice and Atonement, Messiah, the Gospel of the Kingdom, and the Day of the Lord. We will watch one video a week and walk slowly through what it teaches.

This is a partnership between the Middle School Ministry and the Children's Ministry. Sandy and Sydney will both be teaching and hanging out with the kids. The goal is to transition the kids smoothly from Children's Ministry to Middle School Ministry.

We will meet once per month every month between October and May. For more information contact Sandy Stephenson (sstephenson@docc.org or 205-807-9619).
