Class News and Interesting Stuff



Welcome Visitors!

It was great to have Scott and Julie Barwick visit our class.  We hope they felt welcomed and will visit again as they look for a Sunday School class that will be just the right fit! 



Francis Chan



Cool lesson this week!  Francis Chan, former pastor of Cornerstone Community Church in Simi Valley, Chan, asked the perfect question for our class -- "What does Fellowship mean?"   Chan suggested that to Christians it means we're family....we've got each other's back....24/7.   Next week we'll explore The Holy Spirit from Chan's point of view.



Advent Study - Starting October 16
We will be studying Adam Hamilton's "The Journey: Walking the Road to Bethlehem."

The purpose of this study is to explore the story of Jesus' birth with fresh eyes and ears. Adam Hamilton will walk us through the Holy Land and retrace the steps of those involved all in an effort to discover the real meaning of Christmas.  Take a look at the pre-view trailer posted on the "About Our Class" tab.
