The Christian Formation Committee has two major activities:
Sunday School
Classes are held from September to May. Students leave from the 9:15 Service to go to their classes. There are at least two teachers for each class.
Classes are pre-school, kindergarden, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and High School.
Vacation Bible School August 6 to August 10
Help for VBS is welcomed in several areas. An entire week commitment is NOT necessary. Just a few hours or several days or one or two mornings. Help ias needed in different areas. Are you artistic? Would you help with decorations? Perhaps register students? Be a group leader? Call the church office or send an email asking how you can help!
From September 2007 Bethlehem Star:
Will you who witness this Baptism do all in your power to support these persons in their life in Christ?"
Several times a year, most people answer this question with a resounding, "yes!" But what does it really mean to fulfill the baptismal covenant and keep the promise we make to each new member of Christ's flock?
Christian Formation is the ongoing step-by-step instruction and practice of life with Christ spanning the time fro cradle to grave. It is living out Christ's life everyday. This process changes constantly, seeks continually, and draws mainly from the three-Iegged stool: Scripture tradition and reason.
We want to invite people into God's house, to provide programs founded in Biblical literacy and aim at growing disciples who work not far away, but here at home in our own communities reflecting God's power in their lives.
In today's fast paced world, it is too easy for Christ to become of irrelevant, out-dated, and hopelessly out of touch. The future of the church, depends upon reaching out to those hungering for a spiritual base who have no idea where to find it. Support from must be provided for the values g developed that no longer seems to happen in schools and in which many families struggle
with knowing how to provide.
Support must be provided for everyone -.parents and married couples, families in transition, questing teens, doubting believers and everyone in between -no matter whether they are just beginning their spiritual journey or have been walking Christ's way for many years. There must be reaching out to local communities to provide a means for each person to find his own unique way to Christ, to own that faith, and in turn to make Christ known to others.
WE ARE COMMITTED to provide opportunities for you to grow spiritually, to fuse faith and life. Join us on a journey of Faith!!!
