Every Sunday Bible Class

we'd love to have you!
This class is a great way to go deeper into the Word and have discussion with a smaller group. Grab some coffee and a snack and meet in the classroom right by the playground and basketball court from 9:45am to 10:45am.
On Sunday, May 3rd, we invite you to join us for Arbor Sunday, a celebration of God’s creation and the life that surrounds us. This special day calls us to pause, to notice, and to give thanks for the trees that shade our paths, shelter creation, and quietly proclaim the goodness of God.
The tradition of Arbor Day reaches back centuries, from small village celebrations in Spain to its widespread observance in the United States beginning in the 19th century. What began as a simple act of planting has grown into a lasting reminder that care for the earth is both a shared responsibility and a sacred calling.
For those of us in the Christian faith, trees carry deep meaning. Scripture begins in a garden and speaks of the Tree of Life, a sign of God’s sustaining presence. The Psalms remind us that those who trust in the Lord are like trees planted by streams of water, rooted and flourishing. Even the cross, formed from a tree, stands as a symbol of life, redemption, and hope.
Arbor Sunday invites us to live into these truths. It is a moment to reflect on how we are rooted in God’s love, how we are growing in faith, and how we are called to tend and protect the world entrusted to us. As we gather in worship, we will give thanks for creation, lift prayers for the earth, and renew our commitment to care for it with humility and joy.
We hope you will join us for this meaningful and life-giving celebration!
