In January new classes will form and will teach Feasting on the Word curriculum, We will be reorganizing Sunday School to the benefit of everyone’s Christian Education.  We will keep in mind that most of you formed bonds in your B90 groups and there are some that would like to return to their previous groups.  There will be two to three new classes, due to interest, starting Jan. 8th at 9:45 a.m. till 10:30 a.m.   The facilitators will be Bill Donley, Scott Sasser, Lynne DeVault, Carol Turner, Karen Kennedy, and a few more.  We will continue the coffee and breakfast time in January.

Feasting on the Word – This would be a great follow up to the Bible in 90 Days.  The curriculum will engage you in a deeper exploration of Biblical texts, while challenging you to put your faith into action and grow in Biblical understanding. It is a Lectionary based curriculum.  Which means, we will be studying one of the four Scripture passages that Pastor Julian and Bonnie use to develop the worship service.  Through this, education and worship will mutually support each other.

Inquirer’s Class – Starting January 15th this class for those who are interested in our church and in new membership.  It is a time for Pastor Julian to explain and discuss what Presbyterians believe.  It is also a time to answer questions that the class members may have about faith.
