Year End and New Year!

Stanwich Rocks 5th and 6th grade Sunday School teaching team is watching December blaze past us with many of you performing in Joy Story, Christmas Eve choir and sharing yourselves with your friends in class. Thank YOU! We have enjoyed every minute of it!

We are in new series of Gospel Light and this unit is based on Isaiah 9:6-7.

"For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this."

Lesson 1...we discovered the reasons a Savior is needed and how John the Baptist prepared the way for the Lord...JESUS provides the only way to solve the problem of sin.

Lesson 2 helped us understand how Jesus gives us more than we expect and we compared what we expect from Jesus with what He came to give us.

Lesson 3...we reflected on Jesus as the Prince of Peace...the peace Jesus brings is available to everyone!

Next Sunday (January 4th) we will be studying Lesson 4 where we will be going deeper in discussion on how Jesus is our provider and protector.

For the morning classes...don't forget your assignments this week! Bless you and we look forward to seeing what God is doing through you in this week.

For the evensong class...Carl is back this week! You are always a joy and we can't wait to hear how God is moving in your lives. Bless you and for those who are out of town...we miss you!

Be safe and we will see you in the new year!
