Sunday Morning Adult Classes for Winter/Spring 2012
Between the worship services at 9:35
Our goal as Christians is to grow together to be what the Bible calls “mature people in Christ.” That takes the very best we have to give. To help us get there, we are offering three exciting adult Sunday School classes, beginning January 8, at 9:35 a.m.
“Effective Parenting”
Taught by Associate Pastor Janet Loughry
Are your little ones graduating from Lego blocks, Transformers, Barbie and Dora to iPods, the internet, school dances and Twitter? Are you concerned about your tween’s and teen’s exposure to drinking, drugs and social pressures? Join other parents as we meet and discuss the many challenges and pressures confronting today's youth. Learn from some of the leaders on the 'front line'. Hear from parents whose children are now healthy, working, and taxpaying adults. Share your thoughts and concerns and questions with other parents…find resources, know you have support, be encouraged. Pastor Janet Loughry, Christian Education elders, our Youth Minister, leaders of DORKs and many others team together to bring you those resources and support. We take our Christian and church role of helping you be better parents very seriously!
“The Old Testament Story and the World Where it Happened”
Taught by Pastor Dave Wilkinson
This class will to look at the entire Old Testament period from the call of Abraham to the time right before the birth of Jesus – the 400 year period between the end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New Testament. This class will be especially helpful for those who want to get to know the Bible better and feel that, while they know individual stories, they don’t really understand the flow of the Old Testament story and how one story connects to another. In addition to the Bible itself, we will look at what we know was happening in the world during that same time period that had an impact on the Bible story. This is important since God acted for Israel with real people in real history – just like He acts for us.
