Third Grade Bible Explorers
Bible Explorers meets the third Sunday of every month from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. in Room 2008-2009. This is an amazing time for third graders to learn about their Bible. Children use their presentation study Bibles to learn how to use a Bible, learn about the history of the Bible, basic scholarship tools and methods, and generally familiarize themselves with the names of the books of the Bible. We end the year with a party. Since Bible Explorers meets at the same time as youth, the kids see the youth at church doing cool things. It develops an aspiration in kids to be like the youth they see. Parents also get acquainted with the Sunday night routine. more info...
