Christian Education

B.A.S.I.C.
Leaders Sean and Jan Walsh and the faithful but few young adults will continue their weekly dinners on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. along with, Bible study and recreation time through June 8^th. Before these young adults recess for the summer, they plan to do a mission project in our own church by painting the children’s nursery, buying new toys for the nursery room, and cleaning or discarding existing children’s toys.

Education Benefits Everyone – the Christian Part Included Below
After a fruitful fall-to-spring Sunday school year, the Children’s Sunday school will meet for their last regular class on May 4^th. Then, children and teachers will go into recess for the summer. And what did the children learn this year? About Jesus, his birth, his life, his death and resurrection and so much more. They learned songs, how to play together and have fun. One of their last lessons was about taking care of God’s house, the grounds and the church building. Outside they weeded, raked up trash to make the grounds more beautiful. Thank you, children and teachers for your labors of love.

As always, new Sunday school classes will start up again in September. Minister Dave will continue his worship service time with the children each week, but there will be no classes for the children until fall. Pulse expresses thanks, on behalf of the congregation, to all the young parents and volunteers who this year, again, made Christian education an exciting reality in our church.

3rd Annual Glacier Presbytery Men’s Conference held April 26th
Thirty-one men, coming from six churches (including eighteen from Polson) were at this now popular and worthwhile one day springtime event. This year’s topic was Forgiveness and there were two dynamic Presbyterian clergy presenters; the Rev. Kirk Kestler from Conrad and the Rev. Brian Marsh from Missoula. The Rev. Scott Anthony again handled music and group singing. Our men’s quartet for Polson, made up of Mason Niblack, Dick Kintz, Randy Stuber and Warren Hommas, also sang in four part harmony, inspirational hymns for the group at the opening and closing of the conference.

Glacier Presbytery’s camp conference facility was a perfect setting and the food served (breakfast and lunch) showed off their always excellent food service too. Each attendee on arrival had a pre-printed name tag, a table assignment, the sheet showing the topics and hourly program for the day, the presenter’s bio’s and paper on which to write notes. Now into our third year of these men’s conferences, the Polson/Dayton men are meeting old friends again attending from Hamilton, Kalispell, Whitefish and Seeley Lake churches.
