Summer Sunday School

June 14-July 26 | 9:45 am | 1st Floor Classroom
Sunday School continues through June and July at 9:45 in the first-floor classroom for 3-year-olds through 5th grade. Please join us to learn about the seven “I AM” statements of Jesus: I am the bread, the light, the gate, the good shepherd, the resurrection, the way, and the vine. Each week we will have fun activities with a craft, a story, a song, and play time (hopefully in the play yard as much as weather permits).

Upcoming Events

Summer Reading: “Stuart Little” by E. B. White

Mondays, July 20 | 7:15 to 8:15 pm | Playground
We will again have a summer reading program, open to everyone who likes to take part in telling a good story (or just listen to a good story). Each week we assign parts, including the narrator of the story, when a specific character is not speaking. The readings are drop-in so bring a chair and come give it a try! Contact Norm Richert for more information.

Music Notes

Hymn 588: Almighty God, your word is cast like seed

This hymn is appropriate to today’s gospel lesson, all about seeds and sowing. The words sound quite modern, but are over 200 years old: they were first published in England in 1819. John Cawood, the author of the words to this hymn, was born into poverty in 1775; a clergyman took him in, tutored him, and sent him to Oxford, where, upon taking his degree, he became a priest. The tune was written in response to a call for new music for Hymnal 1982 and has won praise for its careful construction. - Donna Wessel Walker
