Adult Education

What questions do you wrestle with in your faith? How can you deepen your relationship with God? This is a time when adults of all ages gather together to learn, share, and grow in their faith, learning more about the Bible and how to better live their life following Jesus. A variety of different series compose the year. Series are often based on books, but reading the books is optional. For current info about this Sunday’s class contact diane@spcah.org.

Each Sunday we will watch a 15-20 minute version edited from the full 1 hour lesson and then discuss what we saw. We hope that by seeing how Jesus’ teaching affected the people around him, we may each gain new insight into what Jesus wants us to be doing today. Please come and join us:

May Adult Ed

Two Classes in May

 Discipleship classes for May following Sunday worship:

• May 7: Guest speaker, Don Clark speaking on Summary Judgement—A  Lawyer’s view of Capital Punishment and our Legal System. Click Here for Video
• May 14: Mother’s Day, no class
• May 21: Proverbs 31 Woman Click Here for Video & Verses and Discussion Questions
• May 28: Memorial Day, no class

May 21st: Proverbs 31 Woman – We all have mothers—some of us ARE mothers.  Our discipling team felt to honor the busy mothers in our lives we should NOT meet on May 14 but come back the next week to talk about the description of this Old Testament woman.  We’ll watch a thought-provoking video from Karen Ehman providing some interesting insight into this wisdom literature.  Is this woman a super hero?  Can 21^st century women learn from her?  Is Proverbs 31 a “To do” list (just what the women in our lives need?!?!?!) or a “Ta da” list (an encouragement to women—and the men in their lives—to enumerate their special skills, strengths, interests, gifts—and CELEBRATE them).  Come and see.  We anticipate a lively discussion afterwards regarding Ehman’s teaching and  what thoughts arise!
