One of our five priorities is Discipleship and Sunday Morning Adult Bible Study is the primary way we seek to accomplish that. Our congregation is strongly encouraged to make this hour a priority in their life as we consider this a signficant means to our sanctification.
Its never too late to join any of these classes, so we hope to see you this week.
As is our normal practice we try to have one class which goes through a book of the bible or a corpus (ex. Hebrews, Joshua, The Pentateuch). Another class is designed to be more practical and thematic (ex. raising children, finances, marriage). And the third class is generally more basic and foundational (ex. Basics of the faith, Becoming a member of the church)
"We are long on membership but short on discipleship. We are more anxious to gather statistics than to grow saints."
Vance Havner
"Nothing can be rightly known, if God be not known; nor is any study well managed, nor to any great purpose, if God is not studied. We know little of the creature, till we know it as it stands related to the Creator..."
Richard Baxter
"Experience will teach, that men are not made learned or wise without hard study, and unwearied labour and experience."

VISION
To disciple the saints at Poolesville with a goal
to their continued sanctification
Sacred Marriage
Teacher: Carl Adema
"This is an important class for those who are both happily married and those who are constantly struggling. The main theme of the class is that marriage is not simply for your happiness, but also for your holiness. God uses marriage to sanctify his children."
Restoration Prophets
Teacher: Jace Broadhurst
"This class will walk quickly through the three prophets of the restoration: Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi. We will take what we have learned about interpreting the prophets and use it to try to understand what God has for us from these last few books of the Old Testament
