MINISTRY TO YOUNG PEOPLE

SUNDAY SCHOOL

Starting in the Fall and continuing through the Spring, Abiding Love uses Christ Light curriculum for Sunday School held at 9:20 am on Sunday Mornings. This curriculum serves to teach Law and emphasize the Gospel as it keeps Christ, his death and his resurrection at the center.

Sunday School Levels:

• PreK-K
• Grades 1-4
• Grades 5-8
• High School

Sunday School meets every Sunday from 9:20—10:20 am

• Children learn the Story of Salvation through various Old Testament and New Testament Bible lessons.
• Children participate in activities to help them apply God’s Word to their lives.
• Children are encouraged to memorize Bible verses (Memory Treasures) to better retain spiritual truths.
• Children learn songs and participate in music, including occasional involvement in worship services.

Join us this spring as we study Jesus' Ministry. Children will learn of many miracles Jesus did and the many parables he told as he demonstrated he was the Messiah the Old Testament foretold. Come witness His plan of Salvation with us!

TEEN MINISTRY

TEEN MINISTRY

Teen Bible class is held every Sunday morning at 9:20 am . This Bible class examines topical issues and seeks to apply God’s Word to the daily lives of teens. Abiding Love works on maintaining personal relationships with each of the teens, ensuring they witness examples of living faith from parents and other adult members of the congregation. Regular fellowship activities for the teens include a winter retreat, canoe trip, youth rallies and many other events. Opportunities for service to the congregation and the community are often encouraged.

TEEN BIBLE STUDY

Join us every Sunday at 9:20am as we dig into the mysteries of the book of Revelation and the history of the Christian Church.  Through various activities and discussions we will learn how Christ and his Word have remained true throughout history and how this comforts us as we continue to proclaim his Word until he comes again.  Come discover answers to: 

1. What is the message of Revelation?
2. What does Jesus promise us and how does this strengthen us?
3. How has Satan attacked the church in the past and how does he attack the church today?
4.  How has Christ defeated Satan’s work in the past and how does he continue to defeat Satan today?
5. How does Christ assure us of his victory?

 We can’t wait to see you there!

KIDS’ GROUP

This group is for 1^st – 5^th graders and is held on the last Thursday of every month from 6-8 pm.  In Kids’ Group, children learn different skills with a Christian perspective.  Various members of the congregation volunteer their time and their knowledge and expertise gained from their occupations and their hobbies to teach and to interact with the new generation.  Some of these activities have included building bird houses, sewing basics and learning how their bodies work and how to take care of them from registered nurses.

ANNUAL EVENTS

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

Every summer Abiding Love hosts a week of Christ-filled fun.  Vacation Bible School allows children PreK through 6^th grade to learn new Bible stories, sing, play games, make crafts and much more.  The week then concludes with an outdoor worship service and church picnic.  Stay tunned for Abiding Love's VBS 2010!

SEASONAL EVENTS

Abiding Love also hosts several seasonal events for children of the congregation and the community. Harvest Fest is a festival held every Autumn that provides children the opportunitites to play games, decorate pumpkins and celebrate with thanksgiving the gifts God has given us. Christmas for Kids is a one day VBS where children learn about the birth of Jesus while making crafts, decorating cookies, singing songs and more. This also provides parents with an opportunity to get some much needed Christmas shopping done. Easter for Kids is quite similar and focuses on Christ’s resurrection and what it means for our faith. Please check back for the dates of these events as they are posted.
