"If you call the Sabbath a delight and the Lord's holy day honorable,
and if you honor it by not going your own way, then you will find your joy in the Lord!"
-Isaiah 58:13,14

JAMES THE JUST
8:30 a.m. | Phifer Library | from the "Coffee with the Pastor" series
Known in history as “James the Just”, the author of this biblical book was one of the most pivotal figures in the early church. As a devout Jew and Christ follower, James’ deep appreciation and empathy for the traditional Jewish customs and laws was balanced by his understanding of the needs found in non-Jewish believers. Author Pastor Mike offers verse-by-verse insights into James’ writings for non-Jewish people entering the Christian faith. His conversational style and delivery challenges readers to practically live out their faith, regardless of their background.

JESUS OF THE EAST: RECLAIMING THE GOSPEL FOR THE WOUNDED by Phuc Luu
Land Building Lakeside Room & Zoom
This class gives us an opportunity to explore Christianity and justice from the Eastern Christianity perspective. The author examines his experiences as a Vietnamese immigrant, as well as the experiences of others who live between pain and hope. Phuc Luu powerfully presents a Christian foresight of holistic healing communities for the traumatized, the unanswerably suffering, and the brokenhearted from sin, sickness, racism, impoverishment, and war.

Youth

Youth Sunday School is offered for all 6th-12th graders between Labor Day and late May in the 3rd floor Youth Room. In addition, we occasionally post Sunday School on our Instagram page: @SCAPC_Youth. For details on youth programming, visit our youth page (click here).

Children

Children's Sunday School classes are divided into age groups. Together they study the Old and New Testaments and learn how the stories relate to their lives today. Registration is encouraged! Click here to register.

4TH AND 5TH GRADE: CHALLENGER CLASS

By this age, children begin to wonder what it means to be a Reformed Presbyterian and how the things they have learned in Sunday School impact their own lives. We study who John Calvin is and how the Reformed Presbyterian Church was founded, the books of the Bible, Psalm 23, and the Lord’s Prayer. The highlight of the semester is a weekend retreat.

4 YEARS OLD - 3RD GRADE

4-Year-olds through 3rd Graders are divided into groups. Throughout the year we explore stories from the Old and New Testaments using the Spark Classroom curriculum. Children learn at their level with a focus on hands-on learning. Weekly lessons help kids navigate the stories and compare what they learn to their own lives. Classes meet on the second floor of the church.

TWO AND THREE-YEAR OLDS

Two- and three-year-olds will be using a play-based curriculum that helps young children experience Bible stories and faith-based storybooks in meaningful, memorable ways. Through our curriculum, we will nurture faith through storytelling, prayers, and music. Each story will help your little ones to take little steps to big faith—starting at birth. Throughout the year we will journey through both Old and New Testament stories including the Christmas and Easter stories. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to sign up as a guest reader in the class.

NURSERY CARE (0-3 YEARS OLD)

Our experienced sitter staff invites all children under the age of five into our fully equipped nursery and playroom. Our classrooms meet all State requirements and we strive to maintain a safe and enriching environment for our youngest visitors. The staff is trained on church regulations and guidelines. Children 0 – 3 will meet in the Bear Classroom which is the corner classroom on the first floor.
