Rally Sunday
Sunday, August 7 • 10:00 AM

If you have not yet found a small group at Central for fellowship, study, and support, you are invited to join one of our wonderful Adult Sunday School classes. With a variety of ages and stages, discussion or lecture styles, these small groups are vital to experiencing full Christian community. We all need Christian friends that we can share with, confide in, and laugh with. Sunday School is the best place to develop these relationships!

If you are a parent of children or youth, they will be attending their classes at the same time you are modeling participation for them.  On August 7, which is Rally Sunday for children and youth, you can send your youth to the Youth Hall, and you can take your elementary and younger children to the Children’s Hall.  After visiting your child’s class, come by Spiritual Journeys upstairs in 276 to join a class of people who are in a similar stage of life. There will be a Nursery Drop-in for Parents on the Nursery Hallway – so you can learn even more while picking up your child.

Reach out to Rev. Meg Jiunnies if you’d like some information about the various classes or finding the right one for you!

YOUTH

Sunday School class for youth in grades 6-12, takes place in the Youth Wing, in Room 206. Classes are designed to help youth study the Bible and talk about their faith in ways that are real and relevant to them.  Sunday School  is taught by a rotating team of volunteers, the hope is that each youth will feel seen and known by a  number of adults here at Central. We use a curriculum designed for  Middle and High School youth called “Fathom” that “takes a deep dive into the story of God that we find in the Bible.”

Materials will be provided for all participants. Youth are encouraged to bring their Bibles to class, but are not required. Please come and join a class for fellowship, fun, and discussion. Friends are always welcome!

ADULT

SPIRITUAL JOURNEYS

This class is primarily comprised of people in their 20’s and 30’s and many members of this class have preschool/school aged children. It is discussion based and focuses on various themes in the Christian faith. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your path.” Proverbs 3:5-6

CHRISTIAN DISCUSSION
ROOM 277
Primarily in our 40’s through 60’s, but all ages are welcome. We use formal lessons (adult Bible study or other United Methodist literature), current events, contemporary culture, and fellowship. Missions, liberally sprinkled with humor and grounded in the Word of God, to grow toward four goals: 1) An always closer relationship with God through Christ, 2) Constant seeking of His will for our lives, 3) Faith and trust to surrender to his will, and 4) Love for all our brothers and sisters. Discussion is encouraged, but voluntary. Everyone is welcome. 

NEW HORIZONS

We are adults in our 50’s and 60’s - the “sandwich generation.” Our class is led by its own members, and we discuss a variety of topics in an informal atmosphere. We meet monthly to eat or see a movie and just enjoy each others’ company. We hope you’ll consider a visit!
