Sunday
School, Fall 2007...
With fall comes the beginning of new adventures and our Adult Sunday School Program is no exception. Classes this year will begin at 9:15 for fellowship and teachers will begin teaching at 9:30. Below are the classes that are going to be offered this fall.
The Present Word
Leader: Frank Jenkins and (TBD) – Location: parlor on second
floor. Length: Sept.–Nov. (A new topic for Winter will begin
in December.)
This Fall the class will be exploring Genesis on the topic,
“Called To Be God’s People.”
The three units in this quarter trace the story of God's
creative power from the creation of the universe through human
creation to the creation of a covenant people. When the people
were threatened with starvation and death, God preserved their
lives and continued to bless them.
Adult Inquirers
Leaders: Mark Ruppert, Pat Franklin – Location: Mark’s office. Length:
Sept.-mid-Nov.
The Adult Inquirers class provides attendees with an
understanding of the Christian faith and the Presbyterian
denomination. It explores the basic tenets, practices and
structure of the denomination. It uncovers the history of the
Presbyterian church including the history of our own
congregation. The class is also used to expose participants to
the various areas of service offered at FPC and the chance to
uncover your own spiritual gifts. All of this is tied back into
foundation of the Christian faith. The class is designed for
seekers who may be interested in church membership, although
becoming a member is optional. The class is also open to members
who want a refresher on their church.
Strengthening Your Walk With Christ
Leaders: Mark and Jana Ford – Location: 205-206. Length: Sept.-Dec.
Maybe the word, “disciple” intimidates you. Maybe you think
this is a title for only perfect people. Discipleship isn’t a
destination; it’s a lifelong journey of learning and growing to be
more like Christ. It doesn’t mean you’re sinless, but you do sin
less. “Remain in Me” is something that Christ has asked us all to
do with the promise of Him remaining in us if we do. If you want
to start your journey or want to strengthen your commitment to
living a life that follows Christ, you will want to be part of
this dynamic class each Sunday morning this Fall.
Study of Hebrews
(The Early Class meets from 8:45 – 10:00 AM.) – leaders: Keith Morgenstern
and Dick Franklin. Location: Fellowship Hall. Length: Sept.-Dec.
Jewish Christians are under fire from non-Christian kinsmen for
neglecting their Jewish traditions. Faced with hostility, the
loss of friends, and worse, many of them are tempted to hide their
faith in Christ. Hebrews is a letter written by a trusted mentor
who reminds them of the superiority of Christ. The letter to the
Hebrews reigns unchallenged as the New Testament’s finest
commentary on the relationship between Christ and the Old
Testament. Its stirring message will challenge you to live
wholeheartedly for Him in every situation.
