CHRISTIAN EDUCATION AT MORNINGSIDE
Adult Sunday School Classes—Did I hear that right?
What makes a good sermon? A great sermon? What makes a good preacher? A great preacher? We all know good preaching when we hear it, but what makes it good? Lead by our own Baron Mullis, for the five Sundays in May, the Adult Bible Study Class will look at the form a sermon might take and what its function might be by looking at and listening to examples by five luminary 20th Century preachers. The Bible Class will meets each Sunday at 9:45 a.m. in Room 201 and all are welcome.
Children’s Classes
The Preschool Class will listen to Over the Wall, the story of Paul’s escape in a basket and have fun lowering their own Paul in a basket. Elementary classes and Double Digits will read 1 Corinthians 12 to learn how each of them is a gift to the community of the church that is the Body of Christ.
