WISDOM Being kind to the poor is like lending to the Lord. He will reward you for what you have done. It is hard to see sometimes, but when we give to a child of God, we also give to the Father. God loves to see us care for one another and He turns away when we turn away from others in need. The wise man or woman shares all they have and asks nothing in return. God showed us this way when He gave His Son to be our Savior, requiring nothing more than that we believe. He is the reason of true believing, and it is within reach of all who will take it.

One of the emphases of the Unity of the Brethren from the outset has been upon the Bible as the sourcebook of all Christian truth. We believe that the Bible is not only to be regarded as the heart of God's revelation of His person and purpose for His creation, but also as a standard for Christian faith and conduct. For this reason, translating the Word of God into everyday life continues to be a high priority for Brethren. Interpretation and application of scriptural truth to life, however, has been strongly influenced by that ancient motto of the Church, "In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, love." Our Sunday School is part of the learning experience that provides children and adults with the Bible basics. We extend an invitation to our church members and community to become a part of our Sunday School.
