Adult Sunday School

 Advance Class               
Meets in the Fellowship Hall
A group of Senior Citizens whose goal is to serve their community and church.
Whose benediction is “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply
our hearts unto wisdom.” – Psalms 90:12
 
Officers:  Pres. Mary Wallace, Co-Vice-Pres. Jim Raynes and John Blain, Secretary,Dorthy Garner
We are one of the few Adult Classes that still have singing every Sunday.  We no longer have a pianist, but under the leadership of either Travis Dudley or Helen Dixon, we "Make a Joyful Noise unto the Lord"!
 
We study from the Adult Bible Study each Sunday, and have five teachers---one for each Sunday of the month which makes each Sunday something to look forward to.
Our teachers are: 1st Sunday, Dorcas Wynn, 2nd Sunday, Richard Stanford, 3rd Sunday, Travis Dudley, 4th Sunday, Nakita Blain, and 5th Sunday, Paula Raynes
We give a $500.00 scholarship each year to one of our FUMC graduating Seniors.  We give $50.00 per month to the Food Bank, $50.00  per month to the Children's Church, and each Christmas, we take poinsettias to all the shut-ins of FUMC---at home, Assisted Living or Nursing Homes. 

We have gone from an active attendance a few years back of 45 to 50, to at the present time and average of 15.  We are a Senior S.S. Class, but we welcome anyone of any age, that would like to worship with us...fantastic lessons, good music and plenty of Christain love.

This recently created class was formed as a ministry to women of the church from

issues. The activities and mission of the class will evolve as the group becomes
