Adult Sunday School meets each Sunday (unless otherwise advised) in Edris Hall at 9:30 a.m.
Our school welcomes everyone and all who attend bring their differing perspectives, backgrounds, and knowledge to the group.
The class is exploring “Church History in Plain Language” and “Christianity Through the Centuries- A History of the Christian Church.” These are two texts from the library at First Presbyterian Church. Other sources include various DVD’s from the courses presented by Ray Vander Laan in the “That The WORLD May Know” series, as well as others.
Currently, we are exploring the formation of the early church as described in the Gospel of ACTS.
Referred to as The Age of Jesus and the Apostles 6 BC – AD 70, we have on recent Sundays examined the growth in the number of the followers of Jesus.
The Sunday School class has discussed the early church led by the Apostle Peter, the other disciples, and Paul, and the number of challenges facing them.
Our examination of events within historical context, has included the role of certain cities in the story. Antioch in Syria was a recent topic of discussion. We have touched on paganism, Greek and Roman gods, the church of Caesar, and other interesting topics.
Placing these events into historical context is both challenging and rewarding as we gain a greater understanding of how the church began, evolved, and arrived in year AD 2022.
Looking to the future, we will begin a look at The Age of Catholic Christianity AD 70 – 312. in the coming weeks.
