The following article is the first of several about the College Church's Adult Bible Classes (13 on Sunday and 5 on Wednesdays). Perhaps this information will help you in selecting a class you prefer.
The newly named Faith Builders adult Bible class has
approximately 75 members who range in age from the late twenties to the middle
seventies. The class leaders are Tom Howard and Arthur Shearin.
They are frequently assisted by Dan Newsom. While the class leaders take
an active role in moderating and teaching, other class members and others from
outside the class frequently share teaching responsibilities. The results are
that the class is taught from several different and fresh
perspectives.
The teachers employ a variety of teaching methods,
including large and small group discussions and lectures. Emphasis is placed on
class members sharing their viewpoints, common and diverse, in a spirit of love.
Having five elders and diverse age groups adds a special dimension not found in
most classes. The overall goal of our class is to increase our faith in God and
His Son in an environment of love and fellowship.
The studies are usually
topical, always scripture-based, and presented in a Fall and Spring series. The
Summer classes are frequently a series of short special studies. Recent topics
covered were: Gender Issues in the Church and Living a Life Worthy of
Our Calling. The Fall 2000 topic is: Grace: It Really is Amazing.
This study is the doctrine of grace as set forth in the book of Romans. Class
members have opportunies for fellowship and refreshments before class
begins.

Care Group 1 will meet Sunday, January 21 at the home of David & Brenda Allen, 1010 Golf View Drive, after the evening service. It's a potluck.
You are invited to help Jimmie Lee Mills celebrate her 86th birthday. Drop by her home, 45 Harding Drive, on Saturday, January 20 between 1:00 and 2:30 and enjoy a slice of old-fashioned pound cake and a cup of hot cider. Casual dress, no gifts, please.
Sunday, January 28 will be the time for another enjoyable congregational potluck. Serving will begin at 11:30 for you lucky 8:15 people. The rest will join you after the 10:45 service. Immediately after the lunch, there will be an afternoon of singing with no 5:00 p.m. service.
This Sunday morning in our Bible classes we will all be asked to
sign up if we are planning to attend the "Eye of the Storm" seminar next weekend
with Dr. Everett Ferguson. Because our elders consider this to be a very
important series of presentations, they have paid a congregational registration
fee allowing every member of the College Church to attend free of charge. They
also chose to forego the annual men's retreat to allow us to place greater
emphasis on this workshop.
The seminar itself will involve five
presentations by Dr. Everett Ferguson who is Professor Emeritus of Biblical
Studies and Historical Theology at Abilene Christian University. Dr. Ferguson is
a "world class" Bible scholar who has written a number of books, two of which
are frequently used in college and graduate-level classes. Each presentation
will include a lecture which will be followed by a time for
questions-and-answers. The following topics, all of which are being discussed in
churches all across the country these days, will be addressed:
I want to be very clear about the nature of this series. Dr.
Ferguson is not an entertainer; he is a Bible scholar. In his presentations, as
in his books, every word will be carefully chosen, and every statement will be
supported by biblical text. I am especially pleased that there will be time for
Q & A following each lecture. This format will allow us to get clarification
on things we don't understand and to challenge things on which we disagree.
Those attending the lectures will also be given a number of manuscripts and
articles which go along with the topics being discussed.
One of the rich
blessings of our spiritual heritage is that we have always been "a people of the
book." As we move through the present confusion on some of today's most critical
issues, what could be more important than devoting a Friday evening and Saturday
morning to "search the Scriptures" to see what is true?
