If you never venture upstairs on a Sunday morning, you may not know about the fun, fellowship and spiritual growth that happen in our Sunday school classrooms!
We continue to use Akaloo, a dynamic, interactive and fresh curriculum. The students can even access resources from the home via the Akaloo website!
Grades 5-8 recently completed the theme of ”Who challenged God in the Bible”. They are now taking a look at ”What God Does When Change Happens”. This is an engaging, fun, active Sunday School class where everyone has something to offer. Team teachers Stephanie Haynes, Nora Roberts, Christian Heyer-Rivera, and Donna Payne truly enjoy being a part ofthis group. Feel free to join us!
The theme for grades 8-12 is ”Becoming a Disciple”. The group has been taking a look into the Gospel of John. This class is full of thought provoking discussion led by Ted Walkenhorst, Chris Scott, and on occasion, Christian Heyer-Rivera.
If anyone is interested in joining our team of Sunday School teachers and this wonderful group of students, please contact at 215 843 8811 or .

Due to our string of bad weather Sundays, the Serendipity Bible Study had to postpone the start of its study of the Old Testament book of Nehemiah until March 7. That means you still have the opportunity to join us from the very beginning!
Together we will explore this fascinating book which is rich in both history and relevancy to 21st century Philadelphians.
Nehemiah chronicles the challenges the people of Israel faced in rebuilding Jerusalem and the temple after returning from Babylonian exile. In the 1990’s, this story provided the inspiration behind a community-based movement which led to the construction of Nehemiah Homes, an affordable housing anchoring neighborhood revitalization in West Philadelphia.
Please join us Sundays at 11:30am in the Jennings Room as Rev. Porter moderates our discussions. Together we will discover how this book of the Bible can help us overcome the challenges we face in our life and congregation.
