Adult Sunday School - Digging Deeper

Sundays in the Fireside Room following service. The remainder of the Adult Sunday School schedule will be a series of discussions based on that Sunday's sermon. Each week's leader will guide you in conversation that will let you learn from each other, discuss what you can learn from the sermon on a deeper level, and help you grow in your understanding in how to carry out God's purpose for your lives.
