Sunday Morning Adult Classes: Summer 2010

Sunday School classes for adults meet between the 2 services. Classes begin between 9:45 and 10 a.m. 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) — Room 402: 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!  Contact person: Mark Hayes mrcommodore@yahoo.com 919-641-1777

Crossroads — Fellowship Hall: Crossroads values instruction that is interactive and biblically-based, fellowship that draws on and appreciates our diversity, and an environment that is welcoming. Through interactive Bible reading and fellowship, we hope to serve the Lord in a culturally diverse world.

Currently studying: “Genesis”:  lessons for today – led by Dave Dunderdale 

Contact person:  Paul Immanuel  immanuel@ieee.org 919-489-0224

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.

Usually take a break for the summer.
