We use the HeartShaper for Preschool and Simply Loved for Kindergarten through Grace 5 classes.
HeartShaper provides lessons that make Bible learning meaningful, fun, and accessible for every child.
- Easy & interactive: Preschool-friendly Bible Discovery, simple lessons, colorful visuals, puppet friends, felt-board characters, and short 1–2 minute videos keep children engaged.
- Creative & memorable: Activity books provide a variety of fun, hands-on ideas that connect directly to lessons, with activities coordinated with the HeartShaper lessons.
- Flexible & inclusive: Designed with take-home resources that help families continue Bible learning throughout the week, lessons help children discover scripture and apply faith to everyday life.
Simply Loved focuses on what matters most—helping children grow in their love for Jesus and for one another. The curriculum is designed to make lessons and provide engaging activities that children will remember.
- Simple lessons capture kids’ attention: Engaging, wonder-filled activities bring Bible stories to life and help children experience and understand Jesus’ love.
- Centered on love: Built around the message of 1 John 4:7, emphasizing God’s love and encouraging children to love others.

Adult Sunday School - 9:30 am - Winger Parlor
The Agape Class will return to class on September 13. We will be discussing the book Ezekiel: Visions of God's Glory by Douglas Connelly.
"Ezekiel was a fascinating man who wrote a wonderful book filled with strange and powerful visions. At first glance, Ezekiel seems a little eccentric, but getting to know him is worth the effort. Ezekiel, perhaps more than any other biblical prophet, wanted to know God—and God revealed himself to this prophet in mysterious and mighty ways. You will catch something of the awesome character of God and his transcendent glory like in no other part of the Bible."
Everyone is encouraged to join this study. If you plan to come, please contact Lois Strycula at 814-728-8675 or lois.strycula@gmail.com. You may also let the church office know. See you September 13.
