Adult EducationSunday Morning Learning HourClasses for adults take place each Sunday morning at 9:25. Love Wins A look at the theology of evangelical Rob Bell, who got into trouble by proclaiming there is no Hell! In great simplicity, he speaks a profound message. Time Magazine called him “a force to be reckoned with in religious life.” Are his views really new, or have they been expressed by other religious thinkers of the past? And why so controversial? Led by Ruth Ann McBride and Chris Rundell, this class meets lounge B The Greatest Story “Stories were the primary way our ancestors transmitted knowledge and values,” writes Drew Westen. This Sunday morning class will be a sixteen week rush through the Bible stopping to enjoy some of its many stories in search of meaning and wisdom and then connecting our own stories to “the Greatest Story.” Led by Steve Swanson, Chris Miller and James Barnett, this class meets in Fellowship Hall Praying: Meeting God in Daily Life Explore the depth and power of prayer, the personal nature and lifestyle of prayer, and examine a variety of prayer forms.

Bookmarks with the readings are available in the bulletin every other week or in the narthex. And Jerrilyn Cambron is administering an online Bible study based on those readings.
