Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. --- Philippians 4: 5-6 |

A Guide to Adult Sunday School Our adult Sunday School classes are as varied in make-up as our community.
We have something for every adult from singles to empty nesters; young
parents to senior adults; most combine single and married people.
Study topics range from the Bible and Christian beliefs to personal
growth issues, family relationships, and current social concerns. We encourage our guest to try out different classes until they discover a
class that fits their individual needs. All groups meet at 9:40
a.m., except for the Open Doors class, which meets at 10:45 a.m. Through
Sunday school we grow in our knowledge and love of God by learning,
serving, praying and playing together.
