Adult Sunday School Resources Online
Summer 2010 Sunday School Quarter
Begins June 6, 2010
(5 Discipleship Groups/Classes)
Whether or not you're accustomed to coming out at 9:30, whether or not you're plugged into a small group, there's a place for you to join into one of our large groups and be nourished during the Sunday school hour at EP. If you have any questions about the adult classes please contact Rev. Joshua Knott (jknott@epcnewark.org). If you have any questions about classes for children please contact Debbie Freer (dfreer@epcnewark.org).
Group: FAITH THAT WORKS: STUDIES IN THE BOOK OF JAMES
Led by Dale Schultz
- The book of James calls Christians to live out our faith in moral purity and in service to God, fellow believers, and the world. Though these good works do not save us, they are the necessary result of genuine saving faith. God uses us to build his kingdom as we grow in maturity, perseverance, wisdom, and humility - putting into practice "the law that gives freedom".
Group: ECCLESIASTES: MEANING IN MEANINGLESSNESS
Led by Tim Coyle
- The book of Ecclesiastes is not merely a book reflecting on the fleeting nature of life, but a book about how a relationship with God transforms all of life. This is the conclusion of a study which began in March, but no prior knowledge is required to join in and experience the rich wisdom of Ecclesiastes.
Group: MARRIAGE: WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?
Led by Todd Metzler
- Every marriage flourishes when it is exposed to the light of God's Word and re-centered around the gospel itself. This is a repeat of the class offered this Fall where Paul Tripp's "What Did You Expect?" DVD series will be watched and discussed. Singles and couples alike will greatly benefit as they reflect on God's design for Marriage.
Group: CHRISTIANITY EXPLORED
Led by Pastor Knott
- This course is all about questions. Each week we explore what Mark's gospel and ask "who is Jesus? why did he come? what does it mean to follow him." The answers to these questions come in the form of brief video clips from the outstanding Christianity Explored DVD by Rico Tice of All Soul's Church, London. The second half of the time is centered on questions from those within the class, questions about anything and everything. Expect a warm welcome and rich time whether you are new to EP or have been around for years.
Group: ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL)
Led by Rick Gray & Jim Thomas
- English as Second Language is as much about relationships with God and one another as it is about grammar. Please talk to Jim Thomas or Rick Gray if you'd like to lend a hand and minister to our delightful international community.
