Kids Investigating Devine Stories at First Church

Bible Presentation Program

This year the Board of Education is revising the church school Bible Program. Each student registered in the program is presented a Bible during the worship service in March. In the past, the Bible presentation was contingent upon participation in the Bible Basics Program (see Information below). However, the Board of Christian Education is separating the two programs. Students in grades four through six are eligible for the program. If you would like your child to receive a Bible on March 13, 2011, please fill out the following information.

Please fill out the following information and send it to First   Church of Christ along with the $15 contribution towards the purchase of the Bible;

Bible Basics Program

Every year students in grades fourth through six at First Church of Christ are given the opportunity to learn more about the Bible than can be covered in Church School on Sunday morning. Since the Bible can be intimidating for a student to pick up and read, the Church School offers this program to help the students become more familiar with their Bible through crafts, games, and movies while building friendships with other students from the church community. Students who participate in this program will be part of the presentation of the "Bible in 50 words" during the March 13 Bible Sunday. All craft materials are provided by the church school for this program.

The meeting dates are as follows:

  1. September 19th from 3:00 to 5:00pm in Palmer Hall.
