Sunday School
Children's Sunday School

Adult Sunday School - Dr. Mary Clark's class on "Who Is Jesus?" is this session's Sunday School class. Many of us know some of Jesus’ teachings, stories, miracles, parables, etc., but do we know who he is as a person? This class will focus on the Gospel of John and, as always, we will share our thoughts and insights. Feel free to join whenever you are able. Rooms 200-202, between first and second services (10:05-10:55 am).
