...... Adult Sunday School Discusses Brethren History and Values

This is the 300th Anniversary of the founding of the Church of the Brethren. To highlight this, the adults are meeting each Sunday morning to learn from our history and to focus on our core values.

The Messenger, denominational magazine, is running several articles featuring persons who are important in our history throughout these 300 years. These article are the basis for some of the Sunday School discussion.

Also during the spring and summer the class will discuss lessons from Texts in Transit: A Study of New Testament Passages That Shaped the Brethren.
The next lessons are:

Taking Oaths	Matthew 5:33-37	Kathlyn Coffman
Anointing for Healing	James 5:13-16	Paul and Marti Landman
Church of the Brethren in Missouri		Jane Davis, guest speaker
Foot Washing	John 13: 1-17	Roger & Louise Crosbie
Pure Service	Matthew 25:31-46	Eldon Coffman
The Prayer Veil	1 Corinthians 11:2-16	Herb & Helen Fisher
Making Disciples	Matthew 28:16-20	Sandy Bosserman

Other lessons coming later in the summer include Counting the Cost, Taking Oaths, Not Conforming, and Doing as Jesus Did. These will be interspersed with articles that will appear in our Brethren publication, Messenger.

All are welcome to join these enlightening discussions of topics that make the Brethren who they are. (Kendall Room, 9:30 a.m. each Sunday morning. And thanks to Paul Landman, we enjoy a "cup of coffee" along with the rigorous discussions.
