CHRISTIAN EDUCATION AT SAN MARINO UCC

Adult Bible Study
Our Bible Study program will continue intermittently in January and February with our insightful teacher, the Rev. Susan Garet. We will not be meeting on the nights our church volunteers for the Bad Weather Shelter. That means we’ll only have two Bible Study Tuesdays in January (on the 24th) and February (on the 21st), both beginning at 5:30pm. Join us for study and prayer.

Children Worship & Wonder
Our children are looking at the stories of Jesus’ life this month. On January 8th, Pam Brownlee will be the storyteller for “The Boy Jesus in the Temple.” On January 15th and 22nd, Connie Gililland will tell the stories of “Jesus is Baptized,” and “Jesus in the Wilderness.” January 29 will have a parable told by Michelle Naylor. The children will be in upstairs worship for All God’s Family New Year’s Sunday.
