Exciting Sunday School Class, Not an Oxymoron

The adult Sunday School class is engaged in an exciting study of the Gospel of Mark. Although Loretta Tanner leads the class, class members bring insights from reading Bible commentaries, share notes from study Bibles, and make applications from our own experience. Even though some people would consider the starting time of 9:30 on Sunday morning to be "early", nobody falls asleep in class! The discussion is lively and keeps everyone thinking, and sometimes laughing.

Ken Hale says, "I believe that we are getting a depth of study during our Sunday school class that is rare. We routinely have those "ah ha" moments that open our eyes to biblical insights before unthought-of by ourselves. I think this is a result of the group discussion style we use."


Teacher Loretta Tanner says, "I am gaining a better understanding of the Kingdom of God."
This is NOT your grandmother's Sunday School class where everyone sat and listened to the teacher lecture and stifled a yawn. This is important stuff for a vibrant life of faith. Here's the Sunday School challenge: If you think Sunday School is not for you, we dare you to come for several weeks. If you don't enjoy it and find it helpful, we will give you a "Get out of Sunday School free" pass for the rest of the year. But we are confident you will want to keep coming!
