Spring Adult Sunday School Classes

Please join us for our new Sunday School offerings, "The Book of Confessions" and "Dreams of God's Faithfulness", starting May 9th.

THE BOOK OF CONFESSIONS

Sunday, 9:00 am in the Blue Room

Each Sunday as part of our Worship Service we respond to the reading, singing, and preaching of God’s Word in our Affirmation of Faith, the public declaration of what we believe. Most of us are familiar with The Apostle’s Creed, but you may have noticed that this is not the only creed we use to affirm our faith. We often use sections of other creeds and confessions of faith. These beliefs are rooted in Scripture and represent the church’s desire ever since the days of the early church to articulate what we believe Scripture teaches.

Join us in studying the eleven creeds and confessions of faith that make up our Book of Confessions as we seek to learn how the church has wrestled with the truths of Scripture and how they have sought to apply them in their particular cultural and historical context.

DREAMS OF GOD’S FAITHFULNESS
The Life of Joseph: Genesis 37‐50 ‐
Sunday 9:00 am in the Mill Creek Room

Joseph was a dreamer. Ultimately, his dreams would bring about the redemption of his people. In the meantime, they were a source of trouble. Join us for eight weeks as we explore a story of arrogance, jealousy, deceit, political intrigue, sexual tension and redemption. Joseph’s narrative from the book of Genesis is a messy story, but it speaks about God’s actions in a messy world. As Joseph learns, we also learn the difficulty of being chosen by God.
