Classes begin at 9:45 a.m. and run for one hour. In the summer, classes begin at 9:00 a.m.

CURRENT SUNDAY MORNING CLASSES:
SPECIAL SESSION - March 14, 2010:
Catesby Jones and You!
The 1846 Covenant Society, newly established legacy organization at Lewinsville, will present a panel of experts, March 14, 9:45 a.m., to answer questions about estate planning and charitable gift giving. “What happens to money I give to the Foundation?” “Do other churches have an endowment fund; if so, what do they do with the monies given to them?” “Just how important is a will?” All confusing and confounding language will be avoided in discussing these and other questions which attendees can bring.
The panel will include Colleen Kavits of the Kavits/Frey Group, Fred Tansill of Frederick J. Tansill and Associates, and Karl Mattison of the PEER Network. The Moderator will be Mike Deese of the Lewinsville Presbyterian Church Foundation. Attendees will likely hear at least one prognostication of where the market is headed in 2010. And yes, even if you already have a will or trust agreement, you will learn something you did not know.

TIME: 10:00 a.m. OR 7:30 p.m.
LEADER: Allison Lineberger
LOCATION: Chapel
Using Matthew's Gospel as a starting point, this study explores how the New Testament writers and the early Christian community wrestled with the coming of Jesus--his life, actions, mission, death, and resurrection--and the implications of his arrival for their lives and their communities of faith.
Moving through the Gospel of Matthew sequentially, the overarching themes from this story of Jesus provide the conversation topics for each of the eight sessions. Each theme is then traced through other related passages in the New Testament.
Who is Jesus and what is his significance for our lives? Participants are invited to join this conversation, to study afresh this story of Jesus, and to learn more about their calling to discipleship and to community.

- Jesus Calls Us Into God's Redemption Story

ADULT EDUCATION AUDIO ARCHIVE:
Reinhold Niebuhr: American Power in Theological Perspective, led by Bruce Douglass (click on link below for audio MP3). Reinhold Niebuhr, a pastor-theologian who spent most of his career teaching at Union Theological Seminary in New York, is arguably the most influential "public" theologian American Protestantism has ever produced. Figures as diverse as George Kennan, Arthur Schlesinger and Martin Luther King, Jr. have claimed him as an influence on their thinking, and that continues today, with even Barack Obama claiming to have learned from Niebuhr's writings. This course is designed as a introduction to Niebuhr's thought through a review of some of his better-known works. Two audio files are provided from the 5-part series running from February 7th through March 7th.
