SMALL GROUPS: 20 minutes

Creating a Safe Place to Connect

Small Groups are designed to help children understand how the day’s topic applies to them. They’ll discuss real-life experiences, interact with a close-knit group of peers, and participate in a variety of activities that appeal to different learning styles. Life application and memory verse activities, as well as prayer, are always a part of this hands-on time.

3rd Grade Bible

At St. Andrew, we take great pleasure in upholding the beloved tradition of the Methodist Church by presenting third graders with their own personal Bible. Studying Scripture is one of the most important ways we learn about God. As a statement of their growing faith development and as recognition of their age and stage to study Scripture on their own, each third grader is encouraged to attend weekly small groups dedicated to learning about the Bible.

We celebrate the tradition of presenting Bibles to our third grade students as a gift from the congregation. It is our prayer that this gift will be a continuation of a deeper relationship with God through Christ, enhanced through the study of God’s word.
