with and without children. Ages 30s to 50s. Everyone welcome.
Fidelis: 10/29/17 The purpose of our lesson today was "to be able to admit
our faults and pledge ourselves to a life that honors our relationship with
God". Charles Gilliland did his usual excellent job of teaching and discus-
sion. We had 19 members present and two visitors. Our class is deeply
saddened by the death of our member, Bill Pearigen, who died early Sun-
day morning. He will be missed by all. We are very happy to have Pat Ber-ry back home. She has been missed. Thanks to Bill Fuller and Mary Truitt
for the beautiful music. We welcome visitors any time. We meet in the
Fellowship Hall.
Covenant Class: The Covenant Class is an adult intergenerational fellow-
ship of couples and singles. The class uses a discussion format with scrip-
turally based studies. Our emphasis is on seeking a contemporary under-
standing and how to apply Jesus’ teaching in our everyday lives. We are
currently discussing James Moore’s book, When You’re a Christian, the Whole World Is from Missouri, Living the Life of Faith in a “Show Me”
World. We welcome guests and new congregants to join us in our fellow-
ship. Contact Information: Location: Room 105, first floor of the
