Chapel Time with Pastor Geoff
September 2013
Today your child participated in our monthly Chapel Time. The goal of our chapel time is to introduce the children to the basic concepts of the Christian faith and practices.
Our intention is not to convert your child or indoctrinate them. Rather, we seek to share with them stories that can instruct them regardless of their religious affiliation. As with our overall preschool program, we hope that this time will help them become loving and caring citizens of the world.
Our subject for Chapel Time this month was the story of creation which is found in Book of Genesis. For Christians, this is a story about how all of life is of and from God. Important in this story is that God chooses humans to be special in the creation, and created in the image of God.
Care has been taken to allow for interpretation at home as to how this Biblical story interacts with other views of creation. I encourage you to talk with your child about how they are special creations of God.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer.
