Nellie Yingling Class

Family Life Center, 1st Floor-next to library

Better know as the Nellies, this is a class of older women (65+), some of whom have been members since it was a class for young married couples.  Lessons are from the United Methodist literature written by well-informed, spirit-led individuals who challenge us in our faith and remind us that God has a sense of humor.  These are some of the biggest prayer warriors in our church who lace the ministry and the work of the church through with vibrant and powerful prayer.

Praise and Outreach Class

The Praise and Outreach class is made of people ranging from the ages of 25 to 60 years, singles and couples.  We have various Bible studies throughout the year and use the Cokesbury literature to supplement between studies.  Our class is very active in supporting different activities in the church, such as the 4th of July Celebration, VBS and anything else we are asked to do.  We also support various outreach programs throughout the year such as the Fresh Start Halfway House, Thanksgiving Meals, Christmas gifts for needy families, gloves and toboggans for the homeless and others.  We support each other with prayer, baby showers, bridal parties, fishing parties and anything that is a part of the life of our class.  We love to praise and serve the living Lord.

The Shepherd’s Class

Family Life Center, 2nd Floor, Room 203-on walking track

There are many places in the Bible where the Lord likens Himself to a shepherd and His followers to sheep.  The relationship of sheep to the shepherd is one of total dependence.  Recognizing that the Lord chose this image to illustrate His relationship with His people, the members of The Shepherd’s Class embrace this image and rejoice in our total dependence on Jesus Christ.

The class is a group of men and women of a variety of professions and backgrounds.  We are married or single and mostly “middle aged.”  Class members participate in a variety of church programs, projects and activities as well as Church Council.  We have social activities and enjoy the fellowship with each other.  We study a variety of topics and are led by Jim Nunez.  We invite visitors or new members and encourage them to visit with us anytime as we follow the Shepherd through study, service and fellowship.
