Sunday Morning Adult Classes: Fall 2009

Sunday school classes for adults meet between the 2 services. Classes begin between 9:45 and 10 am and are not separated by age–all are welcome to attend any class. Visitors are welcome to come and “taste” a class.

Christians in Action (CIA) — Music Rm: We use an open discussion format (think: big circle). Our ‘center of gravity’ tends toward young married couples but includes singles and other ages. We cycle through different units (scripture vs. practical living) each lasting 6-12 weeks. Bagels and coffee feed our discussion!

Heart of the Matter — Room 404: The Christian life is not primarily an intellectual exercise, and it’s not even about what we do for God.  God’s desire is for our hearts.  This open discussion is about drawing closer to the heart of God, discovering the passions he has put in our hearts, and learning how He is speaking to us today.
