Adult Sunday Classes

One of the most convenient and effective ways of growing in your understanding of the spiritual life is to make a habit of attending one or more of the many classes that are offered on Sunday mornings or at times during the midweek. There are more than 20 teachers at Saratoga Federated Church who have committed themselves to teaching. In addition, we occasionally invite guest speakers to offer special classes throughout the year.
Topics range from studies of specific books of the Old or New Testaments to relevant issues of concern such as "How to Parent Teens," or "Building a Better Marriage," or "Creating Peace through Effective Conflict Resolution." The goal is to offer our congregation a healthy choice of learning opportunities that meet the needs and interest of as many people as possible, while assuring a consistent path to greater spiritual understanding.
There are classes for people who have never been to church before or who are unfamiliar with the Bible or the Christian faith, as well as learning opportunities for those who have studied the scriptures for decades.
The complete listing of classes is available in the class catalog. If you would like to receive an email notice of when a class will be starting, please sign up online.

Telling Your Story Class

  Our new study will encourage us to explore and share our life story.  Sally Bryant, SFC's Pastor of Adult Ministries, will be leading us in a 4-week class. 
  Each of us has an unique story, shaped by the events of our life. We will look back over our lives, remembering the events and people that shaped the person we are today. Part of our story is how we see God. For many of us, experiences of past pain or loss may mean that we have difficulty in seeing God as a good and loving God. Through this process of looking back over our lives, we will discover God in our lives, not simply as our Creator and Redeemer, but as One who has been present and actively "at work" in our lives, inviting, directing, guiding, and drawing us into the fullness of life. 
  Life with God was not meant to be lived in isolation but in community where life stories are celebrated and held in careful, loving hands. Join us for this 4-week class as we have the opportunity to reflect on the events that made us who we are today and discover how God has worked in our lives over the years and what he might be doing now. We are richer when we know one another's story.  
  January, 9, 23, 30 and February 6. I hope you can all make it!  
  Come for coffee and conversation with other moms. Childcare is provided. For more information, email Dorothy Araldi or Stacey Lewis.
