For more information about the class, contact the class president Caroline Seigler at [email protected].

• The Grace Class: The class is discussing lessons based on Rev. Becky’s sermon series. The lesson will be held the week following the sermon so the conversation responds to that particular sermon. On March 17, we will discuss “Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?” On March 24, we will discuss “How and Why Do I Forgive?” Join us in person on the third floor, or contact Jim Lane at [email protected] for the Zoom link. We gather Sunday mornings at 9:45 am for fellowship, and at 10:00 am for spiritual reflection.

• The John Harper Class: The John Harper class discusses lessons from Adult Bible Studies published by Cokesbury. For more information, contact Tracy Powers at [email protected] or meet with us in the classroom on the first floor by the elevator.

• The Joy Class: The Joy Class continues to partner with Solomon’s Porch. If interested, please get in touch with Lee Haynes at [email protected] or Sylvia Stevens at [email protected].

• The Open Door Class: The Open Door Class will start our new 8-week Lenten Study — Meeting Jesus at the Table by Cynthia Campbell and Christine Coy Fohr. From Amazon: Whether multiplying bread to feed a whole crowd, relaxing with his inner circle, or telling curious elites stories about even greater banquets, Jesus imparts wisdom as he shares the wine and grants forgiveness as he distributes the fish. This eight-chapter resource provides biblical insights along with thought-provoking queries regarding our own time, such as whom we should invite to Sunday dinner and who is left out and left behind in our culture today. Visitors are always welcome! The class meets in person on the third floor and via Zoom each week. For the Zoom link information, contact Ann Jessup at [email protected].

• The Paul Harmon Class: On March 17th, Charles Bryan will be giving the Paul Harmon class a synopsis of our recent studies on early Christian beliefs.  Then we look forward to Mike Broome’s lessons entitled “Reflections on Religion and Contemporary Southern Literature.” Visitors are always welcome!

• Solomon’s Porch: Solomon’s Porch is doing an in-depth study of the Book of Genesis. Anyone interested is welcome to join in. The class meets on the second floor and is led by Rev. Adrienne Fink. For more information, contact Adrienne at [email protected].
