 Adults

The Christian Discipleship Team has a diverse and inspiring line-up of Sunday morning classes for adults this fall.  We have two four-week units planned.  The first unit is from September 11 – October 2.  Classes are from 10 – 10:45 am.  There are three adult classes to choose from.

  • Raising Kids with Love and Logic: From the Delivery Room to the Dorm Room
    • Join Jennifer Snook and Cindy Dethloff for an interactive look at raising kids.  This class is ideal for parents, grandparents, and anyone else who spends time with young people. Jennifer and Cindy will introduce the class to the ‘Love and Logic’ approach of working with children and youth.  This class meets in Room 101.
  • Sacred Art and History
    • Join Randy Routsong and Steve Hooper for a look at sacred art and the history around it.  As this dynamic duo works together, Randy will focus on the art and Steve on the history.  This class is lecture based and meets in the Chapel.
  • God Calls Us All: Passion and Action
    • Carolyn Shaw leads this video based class.  Each week the class will watch a video and hear from someone who heard God’s call and answered.  The stories explore the surprising ways that God calls and challenges us, the ways God puts us in situations we wouldn’t expect, and the ways God walks with us through it all.  This class meets in Room 103.

Invitation to Psalms Bible Study

,

Are you interested in an in depth Bible Study? 9780687650712

Pastor Catherine Neelly Burton leads a study called “Invitation to Psalms” this fall.  The course is part of the Disciple Program.

During the 2014-15 school year a group at Grace completed the Disciple Bible Study overview of the Bible.  This study is more focused and only 11 weeks.  It is a study that emphasizes knowledge and faith formation.

Participants who engage in this study gain knowledge and confidence about the Bible.

This Bible study requires a high commitment and won’t be for everyone. The commitment is a weekly class of one hour and fifteen minutes and a couple of hours of homework a week  It is fine to miss a class on occasion, but you need to make at least 75% of the classes in order to participate.

Materials for the class are a study Bible and study guide. The guides may be purchased at Grace for $13. You may also buy a study Bible from Grace for $25, or you may use one you already have.

The classes meet on Tuesdays at 10 am and Wednesdays at 6:00 pm. Classes begin on September 13 and 14 with an overview session. Sign-ups begin mid-August.

Look for more information on a bulletin board at church, in Grace this Week or by calling Catherine, 684-5215. Childcare is available for class upon request.
