Vespers (Wed.)

Thursdays at 10:30 am

On Thursdays at 10:30 am join Rev. John Shaver.

Beginning September 9th

A six-week study on Zoom.

Back before Stonehenge or the wheel, back before the pyramids, math, or even the crudest writing existed, ancient peoples gathered and told stories. They told stories of how the world began, what the first people were like. More than ten thousand years later, one set of those stories has come down to us in the form of the Old Testament.

This second course in Exploring the Bible will help you better understand the Old Testament in the context of the world in which it was written and how God speaks to us through the scriptures today. Email info@encinitaschurch.com to sign-up.

Thursdays at 10:30 am via Zoom

All are welcome, ages 3 years to 5th grade. Please have your child wear a mask, and email Suzanne at suzanne@encinitaschurch.com with any questions.

Youth Sunday School

Youth Sunday School has started back with the help of our lovely teachers, Shannon Gilbride and Jason Godbey! Both middle and high schoolers are working through Sparkhouse’s Colaborate Bible Study, which takes them through both the Old and New Testaments. This study takes questions, curiosity, and confusion about the Bible and uses them as starting points for discovering more about who God is and how big God’s love is! Email Revclaire@encinitaschurch.com with any questions.

*All SDUMC Children & Youth gatherings will be held outdoors and encourage masking and distancing until further notice*

Follow @sdumc_youth for more information or email revclaire@encinitaschurch.com for more information.
