Adult Education

The Jack Holladay Class will be studying Called: Hearing and Responding to God’s Voice by Susan Robb. Each week we will read Robb’s book, watch her video, and participate in class discussions. The book focuses on six of the ordinary men and women God called and empowered to lives of service – Abraham, Samuel, Esther, Jonah, Mary Magdalene, and the Beloved Disciple. God calls us, too, to bring hope and transformation to the world. Join the class to discover how to hear and respond to the unique call God is placing on your life. This class is led by Frances Jornov and meets in Room 206 on the second floor of the education building.

During the Fall Semester the Challenge of Faith Class will look at the book How the Bible Actually Works by Peter Enns. Is the Bible a divine rulebook with answers to all our questions or something even more wonderful? Join us as we look at how the Bible actually works. Scriptural knowledge is not required! An open mind and heart and a willingness to seek God’s ways are all that are needed. The Challenge Class is led by Steve Suhring and meets in Room 204 on the second floor of the education building.

The Christians in Action (CIA) Class will be studying The Present Word, an in-depth Bible study for adults that dives deep into God’s word. It aims to have participants know the content of the Bible, understand the message of the Bible in light of their experiences and relationships, and be aware of God’s redeeming love in our lives. This fall the class will focus on Joshua, Judges, and Samuel. The class is led by Karen and Mike Topping and Becky and Shaun Nagy and meets in Room 101 on the first floor of the education 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.

Christmas Worship Services

Blue Christmas Worship Wednesday, 12/15, at 6:30 p.m. For many people, Christmas is a particularly difficult time as they remember the loss of loved ones and the other losses of life. While some rejoice at the delights of the Christmas season, others feel their pain more deeply. Gather with us in the Sanctuary to acknowledge all these losses, to grieve those who are no longer with us, to remind ourselves of the faith that sustains us through all of life, and to worship God who came to be with us and promises that even when we walk through the dark places, we have nothing to fear.
