Crosstalk (C.L.C. – Room C7)
This class is for people of all ages. No reason to be concerned about advance preparation or falling behind on a lesson, just bring your Bible and join us! You can join in at any time. This fall the class will focus on an A to Z topical study that looks at how topics relate to our spiritual journey as individuals, church, and community. Jeanne Hathcock leads this group.

Discoverers (C.L.C. - Room C3, Conference Room)
Liberal and Conservative, Conventional and Pioneering, Mainstream and Experimental - Discoverers is a class for all ages, whether 18 or 80! Join us on a path of personal spiritual growth as we study Rev. Trevor Hudson’s book, “Journey of the Spirit: Meditations for the Spiritual Seeker.” John Hathcock helps members examine the essentials of the Christian walk.

Messengers (C.L.C. - Room C1, Parlor)
The Messengers class consists of what we call Experienced Learners - claiming a lot of knowledge and wisdom. The class is very relaxed with a lot of discussion sharing thoughts, opinions, and feelings. In the fall we will be following the lectionary scriptures. No advance preparation required, just bring a Bible and open mind. Dave Morgan leads this class.

Sojourners (C.L.C. - Room C6)
As fellow travelers on the journey toward a deeper understanding of Christ’s call on our lives, the Sojourners Sunday School class welcomes all ages, stages and backgrounds; singles and couples, newlyweds (or still looking) and retirees, baby Christians and old pros. Applying Christ’s teachings to today’s issues is the primary focus of study. A “lively” discussion is inevitable. Join us as we study the book, “The Me I Want to Be” by John Ortberg. This class resumes Aug. 29th and is led by Nancy Poe.

Women in Transition (C.L.C.-Room C8, Bridal Room)
Women on a journey, transforming their lives to be more like Christ as we grow spiritually and become stronger Christians. This group of women range from daughters, wives, mothers to grandmothers. This group prays for one another, explores and discusses scripture and finds practical guidelines that relate to the topics studied. This fall the study will be “How to Slay Your Giants” by Nell Mahoney.


2010 Fall Short-Term Adult Classes
When Christians Get It Wrong (Theatre Room)
When young adults talk about the problems they have with Christianity and the church, they often name certain attitudes and behaviors exhibited by Christians: judging others, condemning people of other faiths, rejecting science, injecting politics into faith, and being anti-homosexual. Join us as we tackle these issues and address the how's and why's of Christians getting it right when it comes to being Christ in the world. This 6-week DVD study begins Sept. 12th and will be led by Michael & Gina Delaney Sunday mornings (9:45A).

It’s Tough Being a Woman! (Room C8)
But we can discover how to live as faithful women as we explore the life of Esther. Discover treasures to guide you in your hurried, harried, and pressured life. This class will meet Wednesday mornings (10:30A) AND Sunday afternoon (4:00P) beginning the second week of September. The 10-week class begins Sept. 8th (Wed.) and Sept. 12th (Sun.) and will be led by Pastor Christy James. *Please register in Information Center.
