BRINGING JESUS HOME
taught by Pastor David & Tatiana

In the fast-paced, get-it-done-yesterday world we live in, we have worshiped God in church but have failed at bringing God and His ways home. Come discover how to begin to “get your home back.” May we be able to say in word and in practice, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

HE GAVE GIFTS
taught by Vivian Butler

The full potential of a life will not be experienced until we have a clear, biblical understanding of spiritual gifts. For this reason, Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 12:1, “Now concerning spiritual gifts … I would not have you be ignorant.” Come and begin to discover the gifts God has bestowed upon you and how you can put them into practice to serve and bless others.

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY
taught by Pastor Mark & Manny Onos

In this course you are introduced to the purposes and vision of Leominster Assembly of God as well as the practices and policies of the church. This course is for anyone interested in becoming a member of our church and is a requirement for membership. Class size is limited to 15, and it is held in Pastor Mark’s office.

ROMANS: Paul’s Gospel of Grace
taught by Nunzio Nano

Students will understand that it is not what we do to earn salvation and grace, but what Jesus did. Through this study, we will see that all we need is to surrender our old selves, to trust God unconditionally, and to allow Him to work through us via the Holy Spirit– Christ is us and working through us!

Youth and Children Classes

4s and 5s ~ Sally Dyer
These little ones will enjoy stories about the parable of the lost sheep, the woman who anointed Jesus’ feet, Communion, and Jesus’ triumphal entry and resurrection. They will find out how Jesus appeared to His friends and gave good news to two men on the Emmaus road, helped Thomas conquer doubts, forgave Peter, and then returned to heaven to prepare a place for His friends. The students will learn about Jesus’ ability and desire to heal as demonstrated through stories about a man who was paralyzed, others with leprosy, and a soldier’s servant who was healed from afar.

1st and 2nd Grade ~ Rick and JoAnn Boehm
Through Jesus’ miracles, kids will discover that no illness is too difficult for Him to heal. Calming a storm and bringing Lazarus back to life are samples of the stories that will prove Jesus’ power to these students. Healing a blind beggar, Jairus’ daughter, ten lepers, and others show how Jesus used His healing power to show love. The children will enjoy the thrilling stories of mighty miracles: Rahab and the spies, parting the Jordan River, the fall of Jericho’s walls, and the sun standing still. They will find out how Jesus died on the cross, rose from the dead to bring us eternal life, and met with two sad friends, letting them know He is alive. They will also learn that during the time of the judges, God chose great people to lead, including brave Deborah, doubting Gideon, and impulsive Samson.

3rd and 4th Grade ~ Debbie Nurnberger
Kids will learn about God through the Trinity, Creation, and the Ten Commandments. Lot, Jacob, Moses, and the Israelites show the students how God is always with them. Children’s faith will be increased through stories of how God has power over a rock, the law of gravity, an army, and an idol. Then, through stories of Easter, kids will be able to describe what Communion symbols mean, how Jesus suffered for us, and His resurrection. The students will be challenged to name and number the Ten Commandments as well as share how they teach us to relate to God and others. They will find out how we know the Bible is God’s Word as well as how it serves as a guide for our daily lives.

5th and 6th Grade ~ Matthew Maguy
Stories of how Rahab, Bartimaeus, and a soldier demonstrated faith in God will challenge students to do the same. They will also be challenged to make right choices of forgiveness, honesty, kindness, and following God’s Word. Lessons will show kids how they are accountable to God for their actions, but He provides mercy for those who repent. The next lessons focus on how and why each Gospel writer presented a different view of Jesus, showing students how Gentiles were reached as a result. Students will be challenged to explain God’s plan for salvation, why the Church is a body, and what the Christian’s hope is through a study of Paul’s letters to the early church. They will find out how to live their faith, respond to problems in God-pleasing ways, and use three questions to help them discern false teaching.

Middle School ~ Jessica DeFilippo
Jessica has recently begun teaching our seventh- and eighth- grade students. They are studying the book, Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God, by Francis Chan. The class is centered around open discussion each week as they explore their faith.

High School ~ Pastor Darryl Riehle
Pastor Darryl is doing a series of devotions on Sunday mornings that are continued on Sunday evenings at Youth Group. You don’t want to miss either of these ministries if you are in high school!
