From Earth to Sky: Walking the Path of the Lord in the Gospel of Mark

This quarter in the Pathway Sunday school class we are going to keep pace with Jesus by giving our attention to his life and ministry in the gospel of Mark. The goal in this study will be to better understand the person and work of Christ, the development of the kingdom of God, and why all that Jesus is and does matters in your daily life. 

This study will focus on big picture gospel themes in Mark and will seek to tie the Scripture together, both OT and NT, so that you can more clearly see the unity of the Bible in the gospel message.

If you have friends who have never been to Sunday school, this would be a great time to invite them. There are lots of new faces with medical school and law school starting up. Plus, many new college graduates moving to the Jackson area to begin work in new jobs. So, spread the word!

Neighborhood Christian Center School Supplies Project

On Sunday many of you received a long list of school supplies that Neighborhood Christian Center (NCC) needs for their after school tutoring program. If you have never heard of NCC and would like to know more about their ministry, you can visit their website at http://www.nccjackson.com.

I'm posting the list of supplies below, so you can reference as often as you need to. NCC is estimating 60 kids in their tutoring program this year, so keep that in mind as you buy supplies. We want to aim at roughly enough supplies for all 60 kids. It's a lofty goal, but I know you can do it! 

For those of you who may not have time to shop for supplies, please don't let that stop you from being a part of this important project. Monetary donations are welcomed and encouraged. Several members of the class have already volunteered to shop for the needed supplies once the money has been given. If you would like to help us shop for supplies, please let me know. We could use the help!

The date for giving supplies and/or monetary donations is Sunday, September 7, 2008. You can bring all donations to Sunday school. We will also make it a special point that day in Sunday school to pray for NCC and its service and Christian witness to the inner city of Jackson.
