Sunday School Ministry
THEME: “RESPONDING TO GOD’S GRACE.
Memory Verse: If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. –Numbers 14:8; Deuteronomy 4:2; 1 Peter 1:14-15; 2 Peter 1:4 (NIV).
