God Zone

I am excited to announce a Sunday School learning opportunity for your children, grandchild, and neighbors!  St. Andrew values families and we strive to create the most meaningful bible-based Sunday morning experience for children. This is our Sunday School program for our Preschool through 5th grade.  Sunday School is offered at both the 9:00 AM and 10:45 services for our Infant, Preschool (Tribe of Benjamin), K-2 (Tribe of Judah), and 3-5th (Tribe of Zebulun) children.  We have a dynamic Middle School program as well.

TITHING - During THE GOD ZONE children have the opportunity to tithe in their Sunday School classes each Sunday.  The money collected is sent to a family in Africa that our children’s ministry and Missions Committee support.  So please encourage your children to bring their quarters.  The children will correspond with our missionaries in Africa each month and learn more about their work and life in Africa!  We are looking forward to seeing you

GOD ZONE MISSION PROJECT: SHOE DRIVE
Dear Families,

Have you ever hungered or thirst for righteousness?

What is righteousness any way?

In our Beatitudes rotation, children learned that righteousness means living in God’s right way.  It means doing right things according to how God wants us to live.  In God’s right world, all people are valuable and all people deserve justice or rightness.

So, when we hunger and thirst for God’s rightness in the world – we want to make right or fair things happen for other people.

In the Game Workshop, held in September and October, children played “shoe games.”  They conducted a Shoe Survey in their class and learned that they own a lot of shoes!

Children also learned that:

300 million children in the world do not have shoes!

God wants them to ACT with compassion and mercy.  A Shoe Drive gave them the opportunity to respond to God’s call for compassion.  They collected children and adult shoes that were distributed around the world by Soles4souls.

Thank you for your cooperation and support in this exciting missions opportunity for our children,

Tracy Walthard, God Zone Director
