New Online Adult Sunday School Class Starting on October 3rd!
Everyone knows that “the small group experience” is a rewarding and vital component of our individual faith journey and spiritual growth. Duluth First United Methodist Church wants to provide as many options as possible for you to achieve that benefit, regardless of your current circumstances or ability to attend in person.
A new, online-only adult Sunday School class is forming now, with the first meeting scheduled for Sunday October 3rd, and you are invited!
The Abundant Life class will meet via Zoom during the normal Sunday School hour. Using “tried and true” study materials and discussion formats long pioneered in the SOS Class, the group will focus on the three pillars of Prayer, Bible Study, and Christian Fellowship.
