Sunday School from Home, Week 2
We miss all our kids! We can’t wait to see your smiling faces again. Please enjoy another virtual Sunday School.
First, here is a video from our upcoming Rocky Railway VBS.
And one from a previous VBS.
And here is today’s lesson:
On Social Distancing...
The isolation continues. So how are you coping? For Christians there is the resource of God’s presence. We also have the Bible, spiritual songs, and each other. What have you done each day to encourage someone else? And don’t forget to watch our pre-recorded Sunday service on the church website. Let’s trade prayers.

A Virtual Sunday School class for younger children...
Here are a couple of songs to sing and a lesson based on Group Publishing, creators of several of the VBS curriculum we use each year. The Sunday School lesson below is based on their materials, and is hosted by the Frederick, OK First United Methodist Church.
Online Church Service
These are unprecedented days. Bible college and seminary training did not prepare me for the leadership decisions I have been asked to make this week. But God is still alive and doing well, and my faith is strong in Jesus. Please watch the pre-recorded Sunday worship service on our website at your convenience starting Saturday evening. Let’s trade prayers.

Pastor's Video Update, March 18, 2020
Pastor has posted a video update regarding the current COVID-19 situation. Please see the post on Facebook,
Where Our Faith Lies
Fear of the unknown is panicking many people today. Some are hoarding toilet paper. Others are wearing masks. In times of panic, it is good for Christians to reflect on where our faith lies—not in government solutions, stocks, or stockpiles, but in our relationship with Christ.

The Journey Towards Easter
Our Lenten journey continues with a quick look at the meaning of baptism. What did your baptism mean to you? What did it say to those who watched you being baptized? More importantly, how did your baptism identify you with Christ? Our journey towards Easter continues.
– Pastor Marlin Betts
The Journey Called Lent
The season called Lent starts with self-examination and repentance. But then it moves us to reach out to a God who loves us and died to improve us. There at the cross we realize that God’s love is greater than anything else. At the cross we surrender to God’s love. And at Easter we celebrate new life. Are you on this journey?
