ADULT EDUCATION

Sunday morning church school offers several opportunities to explore one's personal faith and to have fellowship with peers. Childcare is available.

Young Adults (Room 216)
This class is geared toward college age to 40-somethings and is an introduction to basic Bible Study. Using a variety of approaches, we will encounter popular Bible stories asking questions like: "What did this story mean to the original hearers?" "What are different interpretations of the story?" "What does this story have to do with me and my life today?" We will start out by making a list of favorite stories we would like to discuss and always be open to others that come up along the way. Each week's lesson will stand alone, so this should be a great class for rotating Sunday School teachers to pop into as able. Contact Rev. Stephen Ratliff for more information.

The Adult Bible Study Group (Room 214)
This class offers discussion and fellowship which reflect the in-depth life experiences of class participants. They are guided by "The Present Word" curriculum. Contact Ned Lowery, Ola Parrish, or Hallie Moore for more information.

Journeys Class (Room 212)
This is a discussion class that welcomes all adults interested in exploring how to live out Christian beliefs in everyday life. In the fall the class will begin a study of the Gospel of Luke. Contact Randy DuVall or Ellen Nesbit for more information.

Paul Walters Class (Room 209)
This is a discussion group led in turn by class members. Weekly reading and preparation are necessary, as the members seek to understand a broad range of background materials pertinent to the discussion. The fall study begins with the Interpretation Bible Study of the Gospel of Mark. Contact Eddie Russell or John Ellis for more information.

E.M. Hardy Men's Bible Class (Library)
This class offers an in-depth study of the scriptures, both Old and New Testament, using the Present Word curriculum. Contact Howard Jones for more information.

The Women of Faith Class (Room 211)
The class has a relaxed and informal atmosphere and encourages reflection and growth. Through our lively discussions we find both faith and friendship strengthened. Through our lively discussions of the John Claypool book, "Stories Jesus Still Tells", a study of parables, we hope to find both faith and friendship strengthened. Contact Judy Voyer or Susan Cotten for more information.

Bible Study with Bob Jones (Room 215)
The class offers study and discussion for those wishing to explore their faith in meaning and depth. This fall the study will center on the book "Losing Moses on the Freeway - The Ten Commandments in America".
