Sunday School is Sunday morning beginning at 9:30 - 10:30.  Following are descriptions of what to expect:
Ladies and young ladies wear dresses, dress slacks, and at times the young girls (up to 8 years old) wear shorts.
Men and young men wear dress coats with ties, polo shirts with jeans, and at times (more often than not) the young men wear t-shirts and casual shorts.
Adults meet in the Fellowship Hall for coffee and donuts at 9:30 and then move to classrooms to continue with Bible Study at 9:45.
Class Name	Description
Pre-K through 5th Grade	Study Bible stories such as David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, Moses and the burning bush, and Jesus Christ.
Jr. High & High School	Meet at 9:30 in Education Wing Room for Bible Study and discussion.  The class is very informal; the students are given free time at the beginning of each class to visit and enjoy fellowship.  Lessons are taken from the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, God's Game Plan and include topics regarding Relationships, Choices, Stress, and Issues relevant to this age group and what the Bible says about handling these situations.
Encounter Class	This class is studying Paul and will begin a 12-week video study, "Parables from the Back Side", featuring J. Ellsworth Kalas on June 7th. This study will take familiar Bible stories or Scripture passages and look at them in new and unexpected ways.  There is time for discussion, but no pressure to speak during the class.  Questions are always welcome.  This class consists of adults 20 to 50+ years of age and neither age nor marital status are important factors. Members include couples and singles. The class age and personality diversity leads to a wide range of perspectives on any given issue. The class is fun, loving and informed.  The class strives to learn more about God's word and how it applies to their lives. The class members bring experience from many different denominations. All members are encouraged to share their experiences, comments and thoughts in a loving and encouraging setting.
Fellowship Class	This class starts each Sunday off by each member doing a show and tell of their last week’s activities. Some of the things talked about are funny and they have a good laugh! Some of the things talked about are sad and they pray with each other. They also pray for the sick and shut-ins and those in the Rest Homes. Get Well cards are mailed to the Fellowship members, non-members and to anyone that the class members request no matter their faith. There are three teachers who rotate in this class. The class normally lasts approximately 45 minutes and is always over by 10:30 a.m. because there are some members that sing in the choir and have to leave the class to prepare. The Fellowship Class has been active for many, many years and all of the members are at least 50 years of age. The members love the fellowship that they have with each other in class.
