For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven…
​Ecclesiastes 3:1
Be strong and bold; have no fear or dread of them, because it is the Lord your God who goes with you; he will not fail you or forsake you.
Deuteronomy 31:6
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. 
Hebrews 13:8
Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old.  I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?  I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. 
Isaiah 43:18-19
You were taught to put away your former way of life, your old self,... and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to clothe yourselves with the new self created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. 
Ephesians 4:22-23
​So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!
2 Corinthians 5:17
Especially for families with children:

All children are required to complete a project each season.  This can be done by individual children or as a family, or both!  They can choose the project with their Fall Season Course or a Family Service Project and reflection form.

  • Church Life: your project will be the family activities that are a part of our virtual gatherings.
  • Walking with the Spirit: create an advertisement for civil dialogue.
  • Simply Scripture: Choose one of the Gospels that we discussed and reflect on what it means to you.
  • Reflect and Renew: Create a faith space in your room for yourself or in your house for your family.  What inspires you?  Send pictures!​
