Let Me Introduce You To ...

This Sunday, we hear about how the first disciples were introduced to Jesus by John

the Baptist. Do you remember who introduced you to Jesus, the Messiah? Maybe it was a parent or grandparent? Perhaps a priest or a nun? Or a teacher in school or CCD?  
That introduction opened the door to a relationship that would last beyond your lifetime.  I know that in my life that simple introduction has led me to a relationship that has changed my life in so many ways.  A relationship with Jesus challenges us to show love and kindness, have hope and know joy, and serve one another humbly. The love and joy that we receive from the relationship with our Savior, inspires us to introduce others to Him. 

So who do you need to introduce to Jesus?

In our Religious Education program, we hope to not only introduce the children and their parents to Jesus, we strive to provide them with the opportunities to build a life giving relationship with Him.  Our 7th and 8th Grade classes have begun a new set of programs in their classes this semester. Grade 7 will be learning more about Jesus through scripture with the Encounter Bible Study program from Ascension Press. While the 8th Grade will be looking at how they are called to a relationship with the God who created them and loves them and calls them to live out that love using the Chosen series, also from Ascension Press.  Both DVD based series will challenge the students to think about who they are, how they are called to live by Christ and how they play a role in God's kingdom. We invite you to take a look at our website to see some samples from both these series:  
Chosen Video Series - Grade 8
Encounter Bible Series - Grade 7
