The Builders Sunday School class lessons are currently centered around trying to understand Jesus\u2019s Second Commandment of \u201cLove your neighbor as yourself,\u201d concentrating on his actions, parables, and acts of forgiveness. This will be six lessons from the Forgiveness from the Deeper Connections<\/em> series, five lessons from Adam Hamilton\u2019s Seeing Gray in a World of Black and Gray<\/em>, and The Walk, Five Essential Practices of the Christian Life<\/em> by Adam Hamilton. We welcome visitors and have no requirements for pre-reading. Additionally, each lesson stands on its own, even if it is a book series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The Discoverers class is a discussion class based on the weekly reading of the Upper Room’s “Disciplines”, one of the daily devotions available from Pleasant Valley. Scripture is read and discussion based on the relationship to the author’s teaching, meditation, experience of the individual class members, and how these relate to the members’ lives and to current events in PVUMC, the community and the world. The class starts with prayer & announcements and ends with prayer for the various concerns of the church, individuals and community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The Canticle Class includes attendees from a wide age range, singles, couples, and married with young children. The class is informal and interactive, using six- to eight-week study guides which address practical application of the scriptures to everyday living. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>New Life is currently studying the Adam Hamilton newest book: \u201cMaking Sense of the Bible\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Faith Links Sunday School Class regularly chooses a theology-related book for study and open discussion. Selections focus on and often challenge the United Methodist Church\u2019s claim, \u201cOpen Doors, Open Hearts, Open Minds.\u201d Members of the class represent a wide range of ages, careers, church experiences, and interests in how the church can serve, plus invite one\u2019s growth in faith. The format is a comfortable, non-threatening and entirely voluntary discussion setting, prompted\/invited by handouts and limited with \u2018homework.\u2019 Visitors are urged to attend a session to check out these claims! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
