On behalf of South Fork Elementary School and our Christian Education Program we would like to thank all our members who donated items this school year. Your generosity is certainly appreciated!

Thanks Again!

Marriage Enrichment is invariably the number one request we get for Christian Education. We are pleased to announce a series of 9 Marriage Enrichment Classes, one a month from February through November. They will be held during the Sunday School hour in the Church Library. They are being led by Mrs. Ellen Fox who holds a Master’s Degree in Counseling and brings many years of experience to her task. Participants will not be disappointed.

In the first phase of Dr. Green’s Through the Bible Class participants looked at the Life of Jesus, including a close look at material in the Synoptic Gospels, and then in Paul. Many were surprised to find so much historical tradition about Jesus in Paul. During the second phase of the Through the Bible Class we will be looking at Paul himself. The Jew of Tarsus rightfully deserves the title “Ambassador for Christ.” Naturally, the material will deal not just with Paul himself, but with his Jewish roots, his Roman Citizenship, the world stage on which his life and work unfolded, and the indispensable role that he played in the emerging church as “Apostle to the Gentiles.” This material is good preperation for anyone who wishes to better understand the New Testament in general, and the Pauline Epistles in particular. Though each class is designed to stand alone, the greatest benefit will accrue to participants who attend them all. Those who wish to participate should put the following dates on their calendars:

The class will meet on MARCH 1, 22, and 29, on APRIL 5 and 19, and on MAY 3. All classes will meet in the Banquet Room during the Sunday School Hour.

Please join us each Sunday morning for a round of entertaining discussion and coffee as we review lessons from the class leaders. For the month of September 2008, Betty Ashby and Ellen Fox will be doing lessons from Phillippians. Beginning in October, we will start in the book by Charles Stanley, The Spirit Filled Life.
