SUNDAY ADULT CLASS OPTIONS – WINTER TERM 2021
December 5 through February 27
1. The Story of Redemption (Gymnasium; Coordinator:
Loren Wisehart)
This
series presents the biblical account of the human problem, salvation, and a new
life in Jesus Christ. Beginning with creation, the class follows the “big
picture” storyline of the Bible as it finds meaning and completion in Jesus.
Each
week, participants are invited to arrive early for fellowship. Upon entering
the gymnasium, participants will be assisted in finding a small group. After a
call to order and welcome, all groups will watch a 5-10
minute video. Once the video is done, groups will read a Bible passage
related to the video, discuss questions, and pray for one another. Groups will
wrap up at 9:45 am in order to move chairs into place for the large assembly
which begins at 10:15 am. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83086751743?pwd=RjNTYVR3QXNUUDRXYUxtN25VRmM0QT09
2. Women’s Ministry (Library; Coordinators: Sue
Underwood and Kim Story)
This class provides Bible-based content in a
LIFE Talk setting and is set up to minister to women who are the head of their
household and women whose husbands are not Christians. Women of all ages and
situations are welcome who wish to participate in this ministry. The class is
generally organized to alternate between Old Testament and New Testament books,
topics, and ideas. However, prayer and sharing are also integral parts of the
class. As participants begin to apply the teaching to their own lives, they are
invited to openly share burdens with one another. This is so that others who
have walked that
path previously can share their own
experience and wisdom in how to face that situation faithfully. While two
ladies provide the principal oversight for the class, a number of ladies from
within the class will be encouraged to lead individual sessions, usually a week
or two at a time.
WEDNESDAY ADULT CLASS
DECEMBER MINI-TERM 2021 (BEGINNING DEC 8)
In
the Old Testament, God made some amazing promises to people like Abraham,
Israel, and David. These promises established how God related with His people
for centuries. In the New Testament, we find that not only do Christians
inherit some of these promises, but they provide hope that is an anchor for our
souls (Hebrews 6:19). In this mini-series, we will examine some of these
promises and explore how they remain relevant for our lives today. This class
can either be in-person or join in on Zoom. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86363371603?pwd=cjM1bmFxZ0kyTU5SR1VQUlN2QlpOZz09
The
Generational Discipleship class will pick back up on January 5. Other classes
will also be provided as well. More details to come!
