Intro to Tenth Lunch

By / Sunday, November 15 at 12:30pm – 2pm

Are you new to Tenth and interested in learning more about our church? Join us for lunch with our minister, where you'll hear about Tenth’s history, mission, and ministries, and have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. We encourage all newcomers to attend an Into to Tenth Lunch before participating in our Membership Class.



Tenth Summer Reading Groups

The Tenth Summer Reading Groups will be studying, Lydia Brownback's book, Flourish: How the Love of Christ Frees Us from Self Focus. There are various Summer Reading locations that women can join so please contact Kelci Rose with any questions. 

Lydia Brownback writes, "Flourish equips us with tools to identify the lies that come at us about where to find real life. As we dig deep into what God says in his word, we will learn to discern the worldly influences that threaten to warp our understanding of what it really means to be a Christian, and emerge with a faith that flourishes―full of the abundant life Jesus promises."

 



June Summer Choir

June Summer Choir provides a wonderful introduction to choral singing and to the Tenth Church Choir, many of whose members participate in the choir.

All are welcome to participate in the June Summer Choir without prior choral or singing experience. Music learned in rehearsals is sung in that week's Sunday morning worship service. The choir has flexible participation and does not require a month-long commitment: anyone interested may sing one or more weeks throughout the month, simply by arriving in time for the rehearsal at 10:25am in the Choir loft.

Children’s Bible School

By / Sundays at 9am

Teaching God’s Word to the Next Generation

Tenth’s Bible School for children and youth is a vital part of our ministry to the next generation. Bible School is held Sundays at 9 AM (with limited offerings at 11 AM) and 6:30 PM, providing something for every young person from the ages of 2 months to 18 years. Classes are divided by age or grade and are taught by competent and dedicated members from our congregation.

Children’s Bible School focuses on teaching children the truth of God’s Word to prepare them for ministry and personal witness in future years. In the early years lessons begin with an overview of both the Old and New Testaments, followed by more detailed stories, theology, and practical living applications in the later years. Lessons are accompanied by a robust memory work program including both scripture and catechism. For older students, we conduct an essay contest each year that gives them an opportunity to debate and explain a point of doctrine from the Westminster Confession of Faith.

Scripture Memory Program

Tenth’s Memory Work Program has been a feature of our Children’s Sunday School for more than 60 years. We understand that Bible memorization is a tool for making God’s word known to our covenant children. We hope and pray it helps them, “to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18).

Because it is much easier to absorb and retain the verses in youth than in later years, our Memory Work Program applies several basic principles:

  • Mastery of whole Bible passages and chapters
    The best approach to Bible memorization is for a child to learn longer and related passages of scripture over time so that the contextual meaning of each passage becomes apparent. This is more fruitful than memorizing dozens of important but unrelated verses which may be easily forgotten.
  • Sequential scope
    We gradually increase the length of passages over the course of the program. First graders, for example, begin to memorize Exodus 20. After they complete the passage in the later elementary years, they review the entire chapter. In the same way, children progressively memorize Romans 8. In the early years, they learn parts of a verse; then the entire verse; and finally, neighboring verses until the entire chapter is learned.
  • Developmentally appropriate, progressively accelerated pace
    Children’s ability to memorize increases with age. We aim to match the pace of memorization with their developmental ability. Our youngest children move slowly through verses and passages. We pick up the pace as children enter the elementary years while at the same time reviewing many of the earlier memorized passages.
