Adult Education at St. Alban’s – Fall Series

Join us between services each Sunday for the Fall series of St. Albans Adult Education.  The topics are:

September 14 to October 5 – Basic Training 

The Fall Series of adult education begins Sunday September 14 and runs through October 5 with a review of basic foundational truths directly taken from the Bible sequenced from the Apostles Creed on the following topics:  What is Faith?, God the Father, The Person of Christ, The Work of Christ, The Holy Spirit and the Church, and Forgiveness, Resurrection and the Life Eternal.

October 26 – The Shoe Box Miracles

You will learn the story behind the Christmas Shoebox Gifts that St. Albans sends forth every Christmas.  The testimonials that will be shared are soul-stirring and encouraging, reminding us that every act we bring forward as a Christian to give freely to others echoes the message from the Jesus Christ of the Gospels.  The growth of the program, the massive logistics involved, and the transformational effects experienced by the recipients will be discussed.

November 2 to November 23 – Rebellion

This Bible study series will deal with the topic of rebellion in the world in which we live, including the First Fall in the Garden, the heavenly hosts who rebelled, the anointed faithful of the Old Testament who rebelled, the rebellion that lives within all of us, and the question, does all rebellion lead to sin.
