Nursery Coordinators: Robin Stratton & Anslee Skelton Pre-Kindergarten, Room 305 Ages 3 & 4 yrs. by September 1st of this year. New Sunday School for 2004-2005!

The eight stations are: art, music, cooking, science, storytelling, video, games and computer. All the children will be broken into 3 age groups: Kindergarten & 1st Grade 2nd & 3rd Grade 4th & 5th Grade YOUTH CLASSES Middle High (6th-8th grades), Room 403 Senior High (9th-12th grades), Room 403 ADULT CLASSES Journey Journey is a group of young adults (college, post-college, 20's +) who share the common goals of learning about ourselves and our faith and using that knowledge to be leaders in our church and community. Chuck Harding Class, Room 410 In existence for 35 years, this group is made up of middle to older adults with a youthful outlook. A variety of teachers alternate in leading the discussions and providing their interpretations of the lessons. The International Lesson series provides for some lively discussion and differing outlooks. Joyful Class, Room 414 Open to adults of all ages, this class is full of people who enjoy studying the Bible and discussing how the scriptures relate to our everyday life. The Joyful class is involved in church and community activities and missions. We love to welcome visitors with the hope that they will become members. Fellowship Class, Room 210 This class of mainly middle-aged adults focuses on Bible study with an emphasis on relating the scriptures to everyday living. The Adult Bible Study Series encourages thought-provoking discussions as everyday life and Christian discipleship are examined side-by-side. Route 66 Class, Room 204 Using the sixty-six books of the Holy Bible as a road map, this class explores the rich history and literature of the Christian faith. Timely topics and lively discussions are a part of each Sunday morning. Jack Nichols Bible Class, Chapel Formerly the Herb Burrows Class, this class was the first adult class formed at EHUMC. It was later re-named to honor the Rev. Jack Nichols and his wife, Austelle. A rotation of fine teachers use the International Lesson Series, generally in a “lecture” format with occasional questions asked to the class. This senior adult group begins each Sunday with the singing of familiar hymns and prayer concerns. Emmaus Class, Room 209 A team of teachers leads this discussion-oriented class focusing on the Bible or current issues. Made up mainly of people in their mid-40s/50s and up, the class seeks to challenge individuals to grow in their understanding of Christian discipleship. Vision Class, Room 401 This class was started in the fall of 1998 to meet the needs of young adults in our congregation and community. This discussion-based class provides a forum for single and young married adults to develop stronger, more fulfilling relationships with Christ and each other. FOCUS Class, Room 207 The Focus Sunday School Class was formed in April of 2001. We are a nice group of folks in our 30's, 40's, 50's and more! We meet in Room 207 each with coffee brewing. Come join us Sundays at 9:45 a.m. for fellowship and some spirited, thought-provoking conversation.
