Third Graders Receive Their Very Own Bibles!

On Promotion Sunday, Children’s Sunday School groups begin a new journey of faith in a classroom that correlates to their school grades. Third Grade is a time of new awareness and exponential growth. Life grows richer for the children, so it is an honor to be part of their lives through St. Paul ministries. On Promotion Sunday the Third Grade class received The Bible through the generosity of The Susie Hatcher Boykin Bible Fund.
