The Beloved Community

One Minnesota pastor often called the congregation he served the

beloved community. This is a good description for all followers ofChrist. We should strive to make the church a community where love

flows easily and joyfully between members.

Church father Tertullian (A.D. 160-220) reported that the Romans said

of the first Christians, See how they love one another! Any faithful, dedicated group of believers

can and should be a beloved community.

Matthew 28:18-20

September and October, 2010

Blessings to our Sunday School friends!

While our first Sunday of our new Sunday School year was September 5, 2010, I do not feel that it is

really the new Sunday School year until the day of our annual picnic on Sunday, September 12 at our

playground at 5:30. I look forward to seeing you! Please bring an extra chair for the guest that you

have invited!

#1: During the months of September and October, we will organize our small groups by havingvolunteers in each small group say Yes, I will contact a small number of folks when they are away

from our small group and I will show love in Jesus name to them.

Typically, in Preschool and Childrens areas, the teachers are the primary people who say yes to

contact the parents, preschoolers, and children. In Youth and Adult small groups, anyone can be

responsible for a group of 3-5 people from the class roll.

#2: During the months of September and October, we have a continuous goal of average attendance

of 300+ persons of all ages studying the Bible including our classes at The Oaks and Valley View.

Please pray that this goal would be met for Gods glory.

#3: During the month of September, we need a friendly face or two in the Welcome Center Parlor towelcome guests and to show them an age appropriate place to study the Bible. Perhaps a Sunday

School class would be willing to have this ministry. Please contact me if this interests you.

#4: During the month of October, please plan a small group get-together off campus to enjoy each

others company and/or to minister to people connected to your small group.

#5: My vision of what a Sunday School newsletter should benews shared by Sunday School people

and centered around events/celebrations showing Gods greatness and the work of the Holy Spirit

through studying the Bible. Would you share your news with meanonymous or signed each month

and I will compile our small group stories into a newsletter?

Thanks be to God, I was saved as a young boy in a Sunday School class. I am grateful that God

continues to give me the opportunity to be a part of a Sunday School ministry centered around the

Bible and our only Savior, Jesus.

Blessings, Tom E. Yarber, Sunday School Director
