We are at the beginning of an exciting new adventure in the life of the Kirk as we begin the quest for understanding of God’s word and plan for us. A “quest” is another word for search. We are searching for faith in God –
this is our “Faith Quest.”

Noah was a good man who obeyed God. God told Noah to build an ark, and Noah did as God commanded. Noah and his family took with them in the ark, two of every animal on earth, a male and female. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights and the water flooded the earth destroying everything. When the waters dried up and Noah set the animals free, God made a covenant or promise to never again cover the earth with water. And God set a rainbow in the sky as a sign of this promise.

What we will learn:
