The Fall quarter for adult Sunday school will begin on Sunday, September 11.

The First Christians: Explorations Beyond the Book of Acts - All of what we know about Jesus, the Christ, comes from our Scriptures, and most of what we know about the earliest Christians comes from the Book of Acts and the Epistles. Drawing upon contemporary scholarship, this course will survey the period from the time of Jesus until the emperor Constantine became a Christian, and thus began the organized church - a space of just 300 years. This class will be led by Judy Ferguson in room 204.

Bringing Up Children in the Christian Faith - Raising children is the most important job one can ever have, and in today’s society parenting has become even more complex. This 12-week class will focus on various aspects of raising children of faith in a society where to be Christian is to be counter culture. Subjects such as faith development, making time for faith in already hectic schedules, age appropriate worship experience, etc. will be covered. This class will use a variety of resources and allow time for sharing. Please join us if you are a parent, grandparent or concerned about children and teens. Class leaders will be Gini Norris-Lane, Rita Odom and Sam Baublit in room 206.

Being Presbyterian - Whether you are a brand new Presbyterian, or an older Presbyterian who wants to rethink Presbyterianism, or someone looking around to find a faith family into which you may feel some sense of call, this class is for you. While we will have on some Reformed and Presbyterian glasses, we will be looking at the Biblical concept of "Church" and thinking together about how some approach the Christian faith through a Presbyterian door. We will think of church government, theology, worship practices, education, service, and what it means for a bunch of varied people to be gathered into a faith family. We will also engage the questions which that variety of people - you included - are asking today. This class will be led by Sam Junkin in room 207.

Friendship Bible Study - Many scholars and theologians feel that Paul's letter to the young church in Rome is his greatest literary and theological work. Many themes, such as justification by faith, sin and salvation, and righteousness from God, are expounded upon. We will begin exploring the book through lecture, discussion and sharing at 9:45 a.m. This class will be held by LeRoy Schlechte in room 208. We'd love to see you there!
