Adult Education
Sharpen your pencils, grab your Bibles, and join an adult church school class on Sunday mornings. St. Andrew will offer three choices for adults this fall:
Share the Dream, Shining Light in a Divided World through Six Principles of Martin Luther King Jr. by Matthew Daniels and Chris Broussard, 2023. The Share the Dream Bible study is based on the life and teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We will look at 6 biblical principles that shaped Dr. King’s life and motivated him to speak out in the Civil Rights Movement: love, conscience, freedom, justice, perseverance, and hope. This study offers an antidote for hate, violence, and division in our world through scripture and the work of Dr. King. Please consider joining the Challenge of Faith class following worship. Class meets in the Education Bldg. second floor, next to the elevator and is facilitated by Steve Suhring.
Life Lessons from Ephesians by Max Lucado is a 12-week study that is filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God’s word and explore the entire book of Ephesians. Paul’s letter celebrates the beauty of the church and gives us wonderful examples and overviews of a Christian life. Paul shows us how to walk worthy of Christ as we live our life for God. The Jack Holladay Class, led by Frances Jornov starts this new study on Feb 8th. It meets in Room 206 on the second floor of the educational building.
The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. This class is for anyone interested in understanding human nature and the subtle ways temptation works. This book uses a unique format of letters from Screwtape to his nephew by instructing him on how to tempt a human away from faith and virtue. The class will focus on one letter a week. This perspective offers insight into common human weaknesses and the ongoing struggle between good and evil. The Christians in Action (CIA) Class is led by Karen and Mike Topping and Becky and Shaun Nagy, meets in Room 101 on the first floor of the educational building.
FAQS
Will I have to do homework?
No, not unless you want to do more reading on your own.
My spouse works on Sundays. May I come by myself?
Absolutely!
I often have to travel and won’t be able to come every week. Is that OK?
Yes! All our lives are busy, and our classes allow you to gain (and contribute!) whenever you can come.
Do I need to know a lot about the Bible and Scripture to participate?
We have students of the Word at all different levels in each of our classes. No need to have your Bible books memorized or show off your ability to quote chapter and verse.
I’m shy. Will I have to speak in class?
We want everyone to feel welcomed and comfortable. While we value discussion and sharing, we love those who just want to listen and absorb.
I don’t really feel as if I have my faith all worked out. Are there others like me?
Yes, there are. Our classes are often as much about the questions as they are about the answers, and you will find groups of people who are honestly wrestling with what it means to be a child of God.
