Sunday school- 9:45 a.m.

Sunday school is the foundational strategy in our local church for leading people to faith in Christ and discipling all in that faith. This occurs through weekly Bible study, fellowship, worship, prayer, and ministry. The three armed goal is discovering the Word together, fellowshipping together, and taking the Gospel to the community outside of the church together. The church family gathers to study God's Word in community on Sunday mornings at 9:45.  Studying together brings out aspects of God's Word that otherwise may have gone unnoticed!  There's also the fellowship aspect, as conversations, for some, happen more naturally during Sunday school than during the worship service.

Class Title: Change: The Book of Job
Led by: Roger Haas
Duration: Fall 2024
Class Style: Lecture
Class Composition: Adult Co-Ed
Class Location: Room 201
Overview:  In the middle of Job's suffering, long before he had his fortune and family restored, he looked through his pain and tears and asked:  Are you hurting? Are you struggling with pain?  Are you searching for answers?
In one sense, we are all like Job.  In the middle of our suffering and hurt we want to ask: "Why?"  We feel we deserve some reasonable explanation to explain what they were feeling.  Job saw something in the future that provided the strength to carry him through --  Jesus. Through his tears, Job saw his Redeemer!
Sometimes it is difficult to understand how an all-powerful God allows good people to suffer.  Let's look at the life of Job!
