In Sunday School today: Gideon's amazing victory over the enemies of God's people recorded in Judges 6-7 was the subject of today's Sunday School lesson. Christ, the light of the world, overcomes the darkness of sin, death, and the devil, even as God overcame Israel's enemy while the light streamed from the lamps of Gideon's men. Discuss with your children, "What do you think was the most amazing part of Gideon's victory? Why is it important that Jesus won the victory over sin and death?"

On Wednesday, Oct. 29 beginning at 8 p.m. we will have a Reformation costume party in the Brammer Student Center with fun games and food. Best costume will win a prize. Come dressed in whatever costume you desire, although costumes relating to stories from the Bible and church history would be particularly enjoyable.
