Feed yourself spiritually in a Sunday school class

Adult Sunday school classes have resumed.

New Testament Discussion

Mark Morey, Susan Burnette

Room 202

A continuing study of Paul's letter to the Romans. Lively discussion is expected; an open mind and a sense of humor are prerequisites.

Seekers Class

Stephen Neumann, Kim Talley and Darrin Murphy

Parlor

The title of the spring class will be “12 Men — 3 Years."

The study will follow the 12 Apostles' lives from their first encounter with Jesus up to their being killed or exiled for Him.

We will interact with Gospel accounts to witness how these ordinary men were transformed from total ignorance about Jesus to being the founders of the Bodyof Christ that believers are a part of today.

We will experience their highs and lows and the fact that all 12 did not make it to the end. Our purpose in this adventure will be to glean from the disciples journey in order to examine our own following of Christ and to learn to walk more intimately with Him.

Please join us and invite a new “seeker" of Christ!

New Testament Survey

Room 210

Teachers: Bob Houchin and Kathy Jones

We would like to invite all to come to our class to learn more about the Holy Scripture and to fellowship with us. We would love to have you and to share your ideas with us.

We will finish Acts on or about the First week in June. At that time, the class will decide what they would like to discuss and study next.

This is a round-table discussion at a rectangular table. All discussion is welcome.

Life of Faith and Obedience
in the Power of the Holy Spirit

Cissy Bankhead

Westminster Room

Practical ways of walking in the Spirit.

Kaleidoscope

David Mullin, Mary Mullin, and Jay O'Brien

Room 206

We are finishing the study of 2 Samuel and the incredible lessons pertinent to our life today that we can learn from the life of David. Next, we progress to Kings.

Design for Living

Room 209

Teachers: Bill Landess, Bob Sanders, Jerry Shelby and Garet von Netzer

The class is continuing its study to understand the inherent greatness of the names that God uses to refer to Himself. The supportive text is “The Names of God," by Ken Hemphill, former president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth.

The in-depth devotional study of the names of God is teaching us the significance of each name and the keys it possesses to growing us in relationship with God. We want to discover that He is our Provider, Sustainer, Healer, Shepherd and more.

“Experiencing God"

Come and see, hear, ask and share Henry Blackaby's “Experiencing God, Knowing and Doing the Will of God" during the church school hour, beginning Feb. 3 in Room 204. Video, notebooks and class discussion for those interested in their spiritual enlightenment, encouragement and growth.
