Christian Education at Morningside
ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS—9:45 A.M. IN ROOM 201 LED BY DREW STOCKSTILL
Next Sunday, September 22, we continue our series on "Reading the Bible for Understanding." Does the Bible seem too hard to understand? Do you feel like you're missing something about these ancient texts? Ever wonder how to talk about scripture in a world that seems to be so divided by "what the Bible says?" Everyone is invited to the adult Sunday school class to explore the different types of literature in the Bible and some tools for interpreting scripture. Bring your questions, bring your thoughts, bring your brain, and bring your heart. All are welcome!
CHILDREN’S CLASSES
Today, the story Adam and Eve introduces preschoolers to what happened when God added humans to creation. All elementary classes will study Paul's message in Philippians that we are to live filled with joy and peace.

Keep in your prayers...
Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.        - Philippians 4:6-7
