Adult Sunday School
We encourage you to take advantage of our diverse opportunities to be challenged in your faith and to grow together each Sunday. New Members classes are also scheduled periodically during the year.
Adult Sunday School Classes Beginning February 26, 2012
Work and Faith
Does God care about your everyday work? We spend the better part of our week working, yet many Christians feel their work has no relation to their life of faith. In this class we will explore both the theology and practice of Christians in the workplace. Topics will include: the meaning and value of “secular” work; the futility of work in a fallen world; relationships in the workplace; a Christian work ethic; work/life balance; and sharing your faith at work. For a head start, you can start reading the online articles available at www.theologyofwork.org.
Facilitators: Ariana and Sean McDonough
“Chores, Consequences and Community Living” & "Teaching Adults to Lead Their Kids (TALK)
The first part of this two-part class will focus on the role kids play in the family as they live in community. Do you desire peace and harmony in the home with your children? Do you have very young children? Do you have teenagers? You got some kids in between? Chores, Consequences and Community Living is a class that allows parents to look at how to begin to shape the mindset of their very young children (or recalibrate the thinking of older children) toward an appreciation of community living and how vital a role they play. Families are community and there must be clear expectations for its members. The second part of the class, Teaching Adults to Lead Their Kids, will focus on how parents can have open, honest, and theologically rich conversations with their children about sex, even from an early age. Learn practical ways of engaging kids in conversations and thinking through how God intended His good gift of sex to be used.
Facilitators: Pam Heintz and Freddie Jones
“The Person of Jesus” Study
A continuation of our fall study on the person of Jesus. Many Christians are so aware of Jesus’ divinity that they have forgotten he’s a person. Reintroducing people to their first love through an interactive method of Bible study, “The Person of Jesus” material invites you into the crowd that followed Jesus. See firsthand Jesus’ compassion to the widow of Nain, his uncomfortable honesty towards Simon the Pharisee, and how he loves a woman with a reputation.
Facilitators: Robert Tansill & Jason Schrock
Men’s Sunday School Class: Study Of “Costly Grace” by Jon Walker
Men, join us for a challenging look at Jon Walker’s new book, “Costly Grace,” which is a contemporary look at the classic work by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, “The Cost of Discipleship.” Grace is a central theme of our faith, but it is greatly misunderstood. Grace does not allow for “flabby faith.” Come be a part of learning more of what it means to follow Jesus wholeheartedly!
