| All classes meet from 9:40 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. |
| PRESCHOOL FIFTH GRADE |
 |
| Divine Savior uses PowerXpress, a Rotational Learning Model.
The children really connect with the rotation format and look forward
to Sunday School. |
| In a rotational learning setting, the same Bible story or theme
is taught for several weeks. Each week, learners rotate to
a different station, such as music, science, art, games, creative
cookery, video, computer and storytelling. The story remains
the same, but children encounter it in different ways in each station.
Repetition is an important part of PowerXpress. The more different
ways children explore a story or concept, the more it is reinforced
in their memories. The variety of experiences keeps interest
high throughout the unit. Teachers teach the same lesson,
with age-level adjustments, for the length of the rotation. |
| This year the children will experience and learn about: |
- LIVING AS CARETAKERS
- THE JOURNEY THE BETHLEHEM
- JESUS BAPTISM
- THE LORDS SUPPER
- SHARING AND KINDNESS
|
| MIDDLE SCHOOL SUNDAY SCHOOL |
 |
| Our Middle School youth use the Faith in Motion series. Youth
explore topics such as |
- Relationships and Faith
- Peer Pressure
- Grace
- Living your faith through the tough stuff
|
| The goal of this curriculum (as with any Christian Education curriculum)
is TRANSFORMATION. Youth will become more fully devoted disciples
of Jesus Christ. |
| SENIOR HIGH SUNDAY SCHOOL |
 |
| The senior high youth use LinC (Living in Christ) which is an
ecumenical youth study that deals with cutting edge issues. LinC
challenges youth to think about their faith and beliefs. With the
immediacy of on-line technology and an exciting interactive approach,
LinC examines the latest music, movies, news, and current events
through a biblical lens. |
 |
| ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL |
| The Adult Sunday School class uses FaithLink which is an adult
study for individuals and groups that want to apply their United
Methodist beliefs to current faith issues and world events. This
essential guide not only motivates Christians to consider their
personal views on important issues, but encourages them to act on
their beliefs. |
 |
| Senior High Covenant Disciple |
| All youth grades 9 through 12 are invited to participate in a Senior
High Covenant Disciple group. During our time together we learn
and grow in our faith as disciples of Jesus Christ, and commit to
follow the teachings of Jesus through acts of compassion, justice,
worship and devotion. |
| Our lives are full of distractions that place obstacles in our
way as we try to be faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. We need
the support of others who are also on the journey to help us avoid
the distractions and keep our focus on following Jesus. |
| Covenant meetings are generally held the first and third Sundays
of the month at 12:00. Lunch is provided for a nominal charge.
Join us as together we commit to practice acts of compassion, justice,
worship and devotion so that we might more fully know Gods love,
forgiveness, guidance, and strength. |
| Please call Carol Martin at 238-7753 to confirm the dates and times. |
| We have a variety of Adult Education offerings during the week throughout the year. Please e-mail Carol Martin or call the church office at 238-7753 for more information. In addition, you may also check our monthly newsletter, the Divine Savior News for specific information.
