Continuing Bible Study for Sunday Scholars      

The Sunday Scholars class begins a study of Second Corinthians on Sunday, April 11, 2010.  Having just completed an in-depth study of First Corinthians, the class will continue their Bible study, usually covering one chapter each Sunday morning.  Bible Commentaries are helpful but not necessary.  Bring only your enthusiasm, willingness to discuss, and a Bible and join the group in the classroom just north of the sanctuary.  For the first Sunday only, the class will meet at 9 a.m. prior to the single service of dedication for the newly remodeled sanctuary.  Most other Sundays, the class meets at 10 a.m. between the two worship services of 9 and 11 a.m.

Sunday Scholars Class Studies First Corinthians      

The Sunday Scholars Sunday School Class is currently studying the book of I Corinthians. All that is really needed to participate in the study is a Bible.  Members of the class have found that Bible commentaries are useful in getting a better understanding of the subject matter. In particular, the commentaries of William Barclay and Ray C. Stedman have been very helpful. The Internet has many resources on scripture and has often been a reference for a different point of view.

The class is composed of singles, and couples in the fifty year old and above age group, but enthusiastically welcomes all ages who want to seriously study the Bible. It is taught in a style that facillitates discussion and is not a lecture class.  

The Sunday Scholars are a very active group that participate in church leadership and activities. The class gives a nursing scholarship three times a year to a deserving vocational nursing student at Hill College, donations to Methodist Home in Waco for youth needing school supplies and Christmas gifts, money for the Junior High Sunday School Class mission projects, and sponsors a prison inmate for Karios once a year. The class has produced the Valentine Banquet for the last eight years, and has headed up garage sales, the Pumkin Patch, and other activities.

You are invited to participate each Sunday at 10:00 in the meeting room just across the hall from the south entrance to the Sanctuary.
