3rd Grade Bibles

Every third grader at Nativity receives an Adventure Bible to guide them on their faith journey. The Adventure Bible contains great contextual features such as: Life in Bible Times, People in Bible Times, Words to Treasure, Did You Know, Live It, facts, a dictionary, and colorful maps. These features bring relevance and meaning to what can at times be a challenging text!

3rd Grade Bibles are presented annually in October. Karla will teach a fun,  brief class about how to use your new Bible.

Faith Milestone

Families of Faith: “Discover Communion”

A series of classes that explore how Jesus changed the Passover meal, at the Last Supper, into the Christian Sacrament of Holy Communion. Drama, games, baking and crafts culminate in a special dinner, followed by a communion celebration on Maundy Thursday. This class meets the three Sundays before Easter; the dinner and Maundy Thursday take place the Wednesday and Thursday before Easter. For kids grades 2-5 and their families.
To register please email Karla Reiland
