Adult Christian Education

Sunday Mornings

Sunday mornings classes for adults are offered on a variety of topics and formats. These classes change throughout the education year. Information on Sunday classes is publicized several weeks before each term in the Park Branches newsletter and the weekly bulletin. No need to sign up ahead of time, just drop in and be a part of the fellowship and learning. Classes are held on several levels of the building. An elevator is available in the back corner of the Gathering Area (adjacent to the church office on the 1st floor).

♦ CONNECTIONS SUNDAY SCHOOL FELLOWSHIP: This fellowship gathers together over coffee, conversation and the Word of God in Guild Hall. We discuss and discover together the complexities and joys of living a Christ Centered Life. We learn and laugh together and have covered a variety of topics such as parenting, love languages, and praying for your spouse and children. We will be “Opening the Book” this coming year, with a Bible overview, Biblical character study and review of the Spiritual gifts. Join us for Connections as we grow together.

♦ FAITH FOR A LIFETIME CLASS: looks at different subjects and applies them to life now. This fall we will start with a study of The Lord’s Prayer. This class is appropriate for those new to Park, new to Adult Sunday School, or new to the Faith, and at the same time delves deeply enough to find new meaning in Scriptures we have read before for those familiar to Adult Sunday School. In other words this class is appropriate for everybody. Each lesson stands alone, so drop in and try a week.

♦ BIBLE STUDY CLASS: The focus of this class is the study of the various books of the Bible. Starting in the fall of 2008, the class will be using the “Genesis to Revelation” series from Abingdon Press to begin a cover-to-cover study of God’s Holy Word. The first thirteen-week session will look at the book of Genesis, a book that deals with relationships—those between God and his creation, between God and humankind, and between God and His chosen people Israel. Class members will engage Scripture on three levels: What does the Bible say? What does a particular passage mean? How does the Scripture relate to my life? An underlying theme in the class’s study is how the Bible informs our Presbyterian/Reformed worldview.

♦ G.R.O.W CLASS: meets in the Memorial Room, on the First floor. This circle of faithful women has been providing support and encouragement to its members for many years.  The Men’s Bible Class will be joining the women’s class for a joint study of "no such thing as over the hill: making the most of life after 60" by James R. Kok.

♦ MEN’S BIBLE CLASS: meets in Room 207, on the second floor. Following the opening exercises, the men will join the G.R.O.W. class in the Memorial Room.
