Band, Minister 9:15 a.m.—Sunday School Classes for all ages. On this Sunday we start using the New Curriculum materials under the the theme for the year, “The Church." The Church is more than a Congregation — the worshippers are first of all “Believers” who are called into a society that God continues to recreate. The Church is more than an organization or a denomination, which despite their valid contributions are but branches of the ‘true vein’ which is Jesus Christ. The center of the one holy catholic and apostolic Church is Jesus Christ. It is one because it acknowledges one God, One Lord, One Faith and one Baptism and is bound together by the Holy Spirit. The purpose of our year’s study in “The Church at the various age levels, is above all to encourage faithful and responsible Churchmanship. , ‘ The obligation does not merely rest upon ministers or elected leaders of the Church. It rests upon EVERYONE. The aim of this year’s study will be intensely practical. It will try to create genuine participation in Church life, not just to preserve the instituion, but for the sake of doing in the world those things which Jesus Christ asks of his disciples. 10 a.m>—The Session will meet to receive new members and prepare for the communion service which follows. 10:30 a.m.—Morning Worship and the observance of World Wide Communion.
