ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL
There are six Adult Sunday School classes. Each class meets from early Fall to Spring at 9:45am between the first and second service. You do not have to be a member of Wakonda to attend, and you can join a class at any time.
Barton Stones - This class is known for their healthy and lively conversations as they look at the Bible, exploring our faith, and agreeing to disagree! This year begins with a study of "90 Minutes in Heaven". Pastor Don Piper died in a head-on collision, awaking in Heaven he experienced the glories he had long preached about. Ninety minutes later, prayer brought him back to life, and he awoke to a world of unimaginable pain, depression and anger. This is the story of Piper's healing and his journey finding the answer to his most agonizing question: Why had God let him live? Don Shreffler is the leader of this study, which meets in Room #6 next to the Thomason Room.
Crossroads - When this group gets together, they connect the Bible to life, and celebrate the joys of life as well as share in the struggles, all in a community of love, trust and acceptance. This year they will kick off with a study of the Gospel of Mathew. Dave Lund leads this study in Room #14 on the lower level across from the church nursery.
Horizons - This is a group that reflects on Biblical text with the intent to act on what they discover. The class is led by Dwight Grieser in the Thomason Room.
Wakonda Wonders - This class will be using a video-based study “Miracles of Jesus". Bruce Gowen leads this class in the church Board room (#5 next to the Thomason Room).
Principles of Parenting (POP) - POP approaches raising God’s children from a Christian perspective. A broad focus applies to all ages of children, newly-born to newly-wed. Everyone is welcome in this guided-conversation style of adult learning. Come share your challenges and successes. Our first study will be from "5 Love Languages of Children" by Dr. Gary Chapman & Dr. Ross Campbell M.D. This study gives practical suggestions for learning how your children interpret love and creating a sense of security in which they can thrive. This class will be lead by Mike and Lisa Msuya.
Hymns - This new group will study the history, scriptural references, and meaning of some of our favorite hymns of our faith. They will sing and study these hymns to bring new meaning to our worship and praise. This group will be lead by Steve Carter.
