We have some amazing students and teachers in our Bible school program. From time to
time we highlight them in the Bulletin so that we can give them the support and encouragement
they need. Please take a few moments and read about them, and then speak with them! If you
would like to help with the children’s Bible school program, please speak with Mark Norris, our
deacon who assists with this area of the work.
Our featured Bible Class teacher is Willa Gainer, who teaches the 4’s, 5’s & Kindergarten
class. She has been a Christian for 40 years, and has taught for 2 years. She was also a public
school teacher for 30 years. Willa says “it’s an honor to share lessons from the Bible with the
children. Young children, especially, are enjoyable to work with. They are curious and want to
learn.” Her favorite Bible passage is Joshua 1:9: “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of
good courage; be not affrighted, neither be thou dismayed: for Jehovah thy God is with thee
whithersoever thou goest.” In her spare time, Willa enjoys crocheting, reading and camping.
Karsten White is 14 years old, and a member of the High School class. His parents are Mike
and Joy White. He enjoys basketball! His favorite Bible topic is the book of Revelation.
Jesse Beverage is 16 years old, and a member of the High School class. His parents are
Johnnie and Shelley Beverage. He enjoys computers. His favorite Bible topic is the story of
Moses.
Our Bible school students regularly study God’s word on Sunday mornings and Wednesday
evenings.
Parents, if your children are not currently involved in the Bible school, please consider
enrolling them immediately. Classes for all ages meet Sunday mornings at 9:45, and Wednesday
evenings at 7 o’clock. See the screen announcements for a directory of classrooms and classes.
A healthy Bible school program is a vital part of the foundation of a strong and growing
congregation. To know, God, we need to study and meditate on his word. Our thanks to Mark
Norris for supplying these photos and participant information from time to time. We are happy to
highlight them, and encourage you to support them in their efforts to study God’s word!
