The Present Word Class, Sundays, 9:00 a.m. (Room 124 and Zoom) – All are invited to share in the Present Word Sunday School Class.

• Explore the Bible as the primary source for understanding our Christian faith and the changing needs of the church;
• Respond in faith and love to God’s love as revealed in Jesus Christ;
• Confront the concerns of the gospel to include our personal faith, values, relationships, and social responsibilities.

This Summer we will study the testimony of faithful witnesses of women and men in the bible who responded in faith to God’s call. Unit I focuses on Old Testament individuals: Deborah, Hannah, Jonathan and David and Amos. Unit II discusses four New Testament people whose lives were impacted by their encounter with Jesus: the Gentile Centurion, Simon Peter, Zacchaeus, and Mary the Mother of Jesus. Unit III remembers five New Testament individuals for their bold testimony and their response to the call of God to serve Christ: Thomas, Stephen, Saul (Paul), Timothy and Lydia.
