Winter Adult Sunday School
“Crazy Busy”: Join us for a new quarter of classes beginning Sun, Dec 3. Many of us feel frazzled and overwhelmed much of the time! This busyness can rob us of our spiritual vitality and distract us from the right priorities in life. We will review key Bible principles and discuss practical ways to manage through our crazy busy schedules! If you are too busy to join, this class is for you!!! Plan to join the men’s class in G-102 and the women’s class in G-110.
