For the Glory of the Lord

Our Sunday School program is held in conjunction with the 10:00 service. Children participate in the first portion of the worship and then go to Sunday School just before the sermon begins. Our Sunday School curriculum follows the Presbyterian lectionary, which makes church a family affair. While Rev. Nelms is delivering a message to the congregation the children are learning from the same Bible passages at their level. Through weekly handouts and family support through the curriculum’s website, there is opportunity for families to expand on the lessons during the week at home.

Yellow Frame’s Elder Kim Graham traveled on a mission trip this past summer to Nairobi, Kenya to visit our sister church there.

We are a "sister church” to a Presbyterian Church in Nairobi, Kenya through the Congregation to Congregation Program organized by the Newton Presbytery. Ten children in our Sunday School began corresponding with children in the Kariobangi South Parish Church, Nairobi, Kenya in 2005, and when Pastor Joseph of that church visited our congregation in May 2006 the children took an active part in the celebration.

Confirmation Classes
Confirmation classes are held for young people in the 10th grade. This is a time of study and discussion as young people prepare to affirm Jesus as Lord of their lives. The time of study and discussion concludes around Easter during a service of worship. For more information, please speak with Rev. Nelms.

Women's Bible Study
We have a dynamic women's Bible study group that meets every other Thursday throughout the year. We explore a variety of topics that help us grow spiritually, and in the process we nurture one another in Christ with both laughter and tears. The next study will be on women in the Bible and it will begin in January 2008.

Adult Christian Education
A variety of adult education classes are offered by Rev. Nelms. These are typically announced each fall. Beginning in November 2007, a course on Family Systems Theory will be held on Sundays at 11:15 –12:15. Family Systems Theory encourages people to think of issues in terms of a multigenerational family or a “system.” This approach encourages people to move away from blaming others and toward individual responsibility.

One of our elders, Kim Graham, was commissioned by the Presbytery and our church to spend three weeks in Kenya this past summer as a delegate to Nairobi Presbytery. She took with her many gifts from our Sunday School children for the children of Nairobi.
