Faith Journey Class
The Faith Journey class was founded while Jolliff was going through a little “growth spurt” as a number of new families joined the congregation in the early 1990’s. The name was given by our pastor at the time, Rev. Ben Hadley-Goggin, to describe the course of study we were undertaking at the time and after that, the name just stuck!
This is an eclectic Sunday School class, open to adults of all ages. Our study themes vary from examinations of specific books in the Bible, Biblical themes, and Biblical history, but at the core of our conversations is the issue of “Christian living in the real world.” Intermingled with that, we discuss the concerns of stresses of the workplace, raising children (and grandchildren), dealing with aging parents, relationships as couples, relations as singles; you name it. We share a lot of laughter in our group and we laugh most heartily when we are laughing at ourselves. We share the leadership role between our members; practically all of us have led the study discussions at one time or another as we are called the Spirit (or each other)! Our current study examines the similarities and differences of our Christian faith from that of others. We expect this topic to last to the end of the calendar year. Don’t be a stranger to the Faith Journey Class! We welcome everyone as we meet in the “Upper Room,” just to the right at the top of the stairs in the sanctuary building, at 10:00 a.m. every Sunday.
