ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL is important, too!

A SECRET: Attending a Sunday School class is the best way to get involved in the Life of our church and grow closer to God and to other Christians!


There is no better way to become an integral part of our wonderful church family than to attend Adult Sunday School – we have marvelous teachers and a great way of studying the Bible. A weekly small-group Bible study like Sunday School is where you meet people and interact with them as you study God's Word together. This is where masks come off and accountability is shared. It's where burdens are divided and joys are multiplied. It's where we get to know each other well enough to encourage each other to develop and use our spiritual gifts. None of this can happen in a corporate worship service because we experience little or no interaction with other Christians as we sit in these chairs and sing or listen to sermons. Worship is key, for sure, but it needs to be coupled with Sunday School for Christians to grow richly in God.

Well, the sad truth is in these "less is better" days many Christians only attend worship-they never join a Sunday School Class and so they miss out! They never really taste the church because you can only do that by being involved in a small group of Christians with whom you meet to study the Bible on a weekly basis. Someone once wisely said, there are two things you can't do alone: be married and be a Christian-and they were so right because to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ we need interaction with other Christians. Proverbs 27:17 refers to this principle when it says, "As iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another."

Sunday School works because each week you spend an hour together studying God's Word-you also meet for fellowship. So if you're not involved in the Sunday School class I would encourage you to join it. I know I am somewhat biased but we have WONDERFUL teachers with fine spiritual depth and instructional capability.. They will stretch you and guide you such that you grow closer to Jesus than you have ever been. Plus-attending their classes will enable you to really get to know this church family. I promise, attending Sunday School will be more than worth the hour it costs you each week. You may say, "Well, Pastor Glenn, worship is enough or me. I mean I just love the music and your sermons." And you can say that as much as you want but I would reply, "! Come to Sunday School and give God another hour of your life. He will multiply it back with many blessings.. There is no better way to do so!"
