SUNDAY SCHOOL

The Gospel of Matthew - Explores the first gospel in the New Testament verse by verse. This class will be picking up from where we were in the spring, but new comers are welcome. Dr. Eckhard Schnabel shares the intricate details in scripture and also gives a global perspective on our faith. His deep knowledge of the original languages, the historical background, and a love for the church weaves this study of scripture together in a way that will encourage and challenge you.
A Praying Life– As we learn from the Lord’s Prayer in our sermon series this fall, we are offering this class based on Paul Miller’s, The Praying Life, to help us think more deeply about our ongoing conversation with God and give space to know the joy in developing a praying life. Various facilitators will be using the book as a foundation and supplementing it with other materials.
We Are the Church- This class will employ guided conversations and break-out groups to share together the beauty of the church, some of our deep questions about Christian community, and the struggles and complexities we experience as the people of God. Lillian Wong and Dr. Kerilyn Harkaway-Krieger will lead with other contributors. We hope these discussions will foster deeper connection and a better understanding of how God has brought us together as a church.
