Adult Education: Story Worthy
Sundays at 8:30 am
May 7 – August 27
It’s good to affirm what you believe in!
This summer the Sunday class will reinforce your trust in Jesus and give you more words to speak about Him. “Story Worthy” is a class Kris and I developed over the years to help students articulate what they believed in their last year of confirmation. Every year parents would say, “I wish I could have had a class like this for my confirmation!”
So I am adapting the class to fit here at Shepherd of the Hills. You have a story to tell, “Story Worthy” will help you find the words to speak about faith, God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
Each class stands alone as a topic, attend as many classes as you are able. The weekly hand-outs will be accumulated for you in your folder, or if you are out of town for a while, they will be emailed to you.
Story Worthy meets every Sunday at 8:30 am in the Fellowship Hall.
Handouts for each class will be linked here as they become available.
