Adult Sunday School at Our Saviour’s Lutheran

Posted on | November 30, 2005 | No Comments

Last Sunday I finished leading an 8-week adult Sunday school class at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church here in Ft. Collins. The topic was how the Bible came together as a document and how the different interpretations of the text have shaped history. We had steady attendance of about 40+ people, which was gratifying in a relatively small church. We used some great books: The Bible, the Book that Bridges the Millennia (http://gbgm-umc.org/umw/bible/). Many of the people in the class purchased extra sets of books to give to friends – at only $4.00 a set, they’re the best value on this topic.

After the class, several people mentioned that they would like to go through the entire class again, but with more time for discussion. (Due to time constraints, I had to power through the material in more of a lecture format than I would like). Other people asked if I would lead more in depth discussions and study into some of the doctrines and different episodes covered in the course. Of course I’d love that, it’s just a matter of scheduling it with the pastors.

I’m going to offer to take over the responsibility for planning this course – effectively becoming the default leader, but allowing plenty of time into the schedule for other speakers and topics as they come up. I could post the schedule and each week’s course materials to the spiritcurve.com web site (yet to be created – although I have the domain name…) so that people could download the course materials each week. I would also hand them out in class a week in advance. I’ll talk with one of the pastor’s tonight to see if that’s something he thinks is a good idea.
