Sunday Classes 10:00 -11:00 am
This is the adult class time. The classes vary in topic and scope, and are led by one of the pastors or by a lay person -- always inspirational. The Christian Education Division is pleased to offer the following Sunday morning classes starting September 19:
• Church History in Plain Language (Howard Crowley Room)
This wonderful course continues in its second year with Dick Piper leading. Written by Dr. Bruce Shelley, Church History in Plain Language brings church history to life, delves into social, political, and theological movements in the church, and skillfully weaves it all together in an easy-to-read narrative. Come study and discuss the roots of our Christian tradition for a deeper understanding of who we are today. Stop by the Christian Education table at Sundae Sunday to pick up the question sheet for the first chapter on the Reformation (chapter 24 in the text).
• Saving Jesus (Church Parlor)
This DVD and guided discussion format produced by the developers of Living the Questions encourages us to ask important questions about our faith. Such an invitation serves to strengthen our understanding of the profound significance Jesus of Nazareth has on our lives and on our own spiritual awakening. It also encourages us to embrace a greater understanding of faith that is inclusive and reconciling rather than unique and exclusive. This course speaks to the twenty-first century Christian and a twenty-first century global family.
• For Parents (and their kids) (Room 204)
Stepping Stones of Faith: “Entry into Sunday School” September 19, 26
Stepping Stones of Faith: “Baptism” October 3, 10
Have a New Kid by Friday: Beginning October 17

Dr. Leman discusses parental concerns with their children’s attitude, behavior and character issues, and positive steps that can benefit the whole family. The DVD portion will take place on Sunday mornings, with guided discussion during Wednesday Works from 6:15-7:15 p.m.
• General Assembly Overview and Bible Study (Room 202)
On September 26 (NOTE: starts one week later than other classes) Pastor Ivan will present an overview of the actions taken at the 219th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA). The following seven weeks, we will use Frances Taylor Gench’s highly-reviewed book, Faithful Disagreement: Wrestling with Scripture in the Midst of Church Conflict to guide our Bible study, and will discuss the issues and their scriptural bases as they relate to ourselves, our church, and our congregation.All of these classes are from 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. on Sundays.
