Faith Community has developed a comprehensive program to
introduce our third graders to the Bible and provide
opportunities for them to become familiar with God’s word.
Each Sunday, they are encouraged to bring their Bibles
with them to delve deeper and see how it guides them in
their daily lives. In 2009/2010, we added a family retreat
and a lock-in to our Third Grade Bible Program, to help keep
our third graders excited about their new Bibles.

Third Grade Bible Presentation

October 9, 2011
12:15 – 1:30 pm

Our Third Graders receive their Bibles in a special
presentation after worship. Families will meet in
the Narthex area outside the Sanctuary for some
light snacks and fellowship time. We will then have
the presentation in the Sanctuary followed by
family communion.

Please contact Lynne Martini at
lynne.martini@emailfcumc.net or 777-9533 ext. 107
if your child would like to receive a Bible.

Third Grade Family Retreat

November 19, 2011
5:00-8:00 pm

Families will share a potluck meal and then have family
activities and stations in Bible discovery in the CLC. The
goals of the evening are three-fold: to keep our third
graders excited about their Bibles, to have families
prioritize time to learn about God’s Word and to give the
families resources to use at home.   

According to one of the parents who participated, “This
retreat provided us a great opportunity to reconnect
with each other and our church family in a more
personal way.  Our kids really enjoyed the fun activities
geared towards using their Bibles and incorporating
prayer into their daily lives.”

and food to see God’s Word come alive for your
