Celebrate the New Church School Year by Cheryl Goode
Rally Day—or it could be called Christian Education Sunday, is the kick-off Sunday for our educational year. It is our chance to welcome everyone back from summer and revitalize our Sunday school classes. This year on September 9th, Sunday school classes will meet in their respective classrooms from 9:40-10:40 a.m. This is a time to share fellowship, a time to share in our learning and study, and a time to renew our mutual commitment to one another. What we as Christians have in common though, is not just a commitment to learning and study, but a commitment to our faith. For study this year the adult classes will be using the Present Word curriculum, and books of their choice. The elementary students
will be using the Faith Alive: Kid Connection curriculum. Middle school students continue with the Faith Alive: Walk with Me curriculum. Our High School students continue to learn with Pastor Alex at Senior High Youth Fellowship Sunday evenings and to assist the elementary teachers on Sunday mornings. In years past we have celebrated with a Jazz Picnic in front of the church on 3rd Street. This has been well received, with food, fellowship, and games for the children. It has promoted fellowship with those outside of our church as well. I am excited to say that this year we will have our 11:00 a.m. worship service on 3rd Street with a picnic lunch to follow. What a wonderful way to worship! Outdoors in God’s creation! We ask that you bring See RALLY DAY on page 2
ID Card Assistance To Be Offered by Debbie Olson
Many people in the Harrisburg area do not have an official identification card. This makes it difficult for them to apply for many things. Pine Street Church will offer assistance to those people to obtain official cards. If you know someone who needs an ID card, bring him/her to our attention. We will help the individuals get to the PennDOT building, perhaps assist them during the process, and return them to their homes, etc. This may take a couple hours of your See ID CARDS on page 2
