Adult Education: The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) have historically affirmed and encouraged the study of the Scriptures as well as spiritual disciplines.  While short-term opportunities at CCC often take place spontaneously, there are several opportunities for adult education at this time:

On June 6, we will begin a six week study based on John Ortberg’s book, “If You Want to Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boat.”   We will be using John Ortberg’s Participation Guide in class along with video and group discussion on conquering our fears and facing our challenges.  All that is required is the Participation Guide and your bible.  The cost of the guide is $10.00.  The study will be on Sunday mornings at 10:00am and each session will last approximately one hour. 

                                            1. What’s Water Walking? - June 6                                                               

            2. The Tragedy of the Unopened Gift - June 13

                    3. Find Your Calling and Get Your Feet Wet! - June 20

                    4. Facing Our Challenges, Conquering Our Fears - June 27

                                             5. Good News for Cave Dwellers - July 4

             6. Learning to Wait on Our Big God - July 11

We do need to know how many plan to attend so we can place the order for the guides, so please call Brad Edwards at 573-480-0071 to put your name on the list. 

I invite you to consider the incredible amount of potential that awaits you all outside of your comfort zone.  Come on – let’s step out of the boat together.

        OPEN DOOR SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS: Meets in the laity office.  The members are generally under the age  of 65, and they also use the quarterly Sunday School curriculum in an informal discussion format.

        PRIME TIME SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS: Meets in the church parlor/library.  The members are generally over 65 years of age, and use curriculum that follows the Unified Lesson Plan in quarterly publications.  The format is informal and centered on group discussion.

        BROWN BAG BIBLE FOR WOMEN: Meets on Thursday mornings at 11:30 at the church; led by Billie Huddleston.  Bring your Bible and sack lunch.  Miscellaneous Biblical passages and topics studied.

        PASTOR'S STUDY: Meets on Tuesday evenings at 7:00 pm and again on Thursday mornings at 10:00 am at the church; led by Pastor Colleen. The scripture for the coming Sunday worship is the focus of study. Bring your Bible; open to adult men and women. (Same study offered two different times.)

If you would like to lead a class in bible study or a related Christ-centered topic we will help you organize, publicize and suggest ways to begin your proposed class or discussion group.
