Called By Name (Summer Sunday School)

June 10, 2025 by Andrew Burd-Harris Leave a Comment

But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.

Isaiah 43:1 (NRSV)

This summer our Sunday School teachers are taking a well-deserved break. In July and August, Pastor Andrew will be offering an experimental Sunday School class. The class will use the Bible and the story of Jesus as seen on the TV show The Chosen to explore what it means to be called by Jesus. You can learn more about The Chosen by visiting their website.

Each class will be in two parts. The first part of the class will be watching an episode of the first season of The Chosen. Participants are welcome to watch the episode at home and come at 9 AM. If you would like to watch it at the church, please see the schedule on the back. The shortest episode is 30 minutes long and the longest episode is an hour. Our first session start time depends on the length of the episode. Showing of the episode will start exactly at the time listed on the back of this sheet. Streaming options are listed below.

During our traditional 9 AM Sunday School hour, we will pray, share joys and concerns, read some scripture lessons (there may be more than the ones listed on the back), and discuss both the scripture lessons and that week’s episode. If the class is small enough, the class will be on Zoom and in Room 3. Contact us for more information.
