Sunday School Classes	Life Savers (3rd and 4th Grades)
"All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever." (1 Peter 1:24-25) Children deserve a strong start in life. By teaching kids the Bible, we seize the window of opportunity to shape the lives of these children. Throughout their lives, our children are going to encounter values, attitudes and beliefs that are sometimes different from the Christian values we want them to follow. Children learn that Bible events in history are real, which in turn empowers them to become more solid in their faith. They can live the way God intends for us to live, and feel comfortable in doing so, knowing that they are following a true blueprint for their lives. They learn to know God and can openly proclaim his goodness, grace, and love.
The B-I-B-L-E, that's the book for me! Rising 3rd graders are given a gift of a Bible on promotion Sunday. Subsequently, a major part of the curriculum for this age group encompasses understanding what the Bible is, a general overview of its' parts, how to use it, and then beginning to understand the themes that God wants us to know as we live our lives.
