Char shows off a stained-glass window that Chris Wyant helped the kids make in Sunday School Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 10/23/2025 Jeff Stempien brought bags of wooden blocks and explain to the kids that you need to build blocks with God‘s help. You will fall down without grace. We can’t survive without God’s help. The kids were able to get the towers quite high! Last week’s lesson from Grady Bray was about Miriam. She was one of 11 prophets. There were also two faults prophets, which is an issue then and for us today. Prophets represent and give testimony to God. Todays lesson was on Jeremiah, a profit to the ages. Jeremiah became a prophet as a very young man. He was a messenger for God for 40 years. God had talked to Jeremiah- before you were conceived. I knew you. God called Jeremiah to be a prophet. He was unsure, but God reassured him. Jewish tradition told that people can not be leaders and teachers until they are 30 years of age. Jesus also started teaching at age 30. This is one reason that Jeremiah was so reluctant, as at the time he was called he was very young. Thank you, Grady for your inspiring and knowledgeable message. What is God‘s plan for you? Do you look at the Holy Spirit and how it works through your life? Grady Bray told it when he was a young man he wanted to be a fighter pilot. He signed up, but never heard back. He later found that his application was stuck in a file drawer when the person that had interviewed him changed positions. God found for him a different path and another plan for his life! See you Sunday!

He told us of the importance of Miriam and women in the early Jewish church. They told people of God’s promises and his expectations it was interesting to see. Is the church transitioned that for quite a time women lost their importance and preaching and sharing God’s word Thank you Grady for a very informative sermon The scripture reading today was John 1: 5-7. The children followed this theme in Sunday school as they learned the different aspects of prayer and they were able to construct some prayers together at the end of our session. They also painted pumpkins! Jeff Stempien gave the children’s sermon. It was based on books that he enjoyed reading to his children and grandchildren.
