Adults

The Dan Adams Class is named for the late Dan Adams, a long term member of First (Scots) who ably led this class for many decades. Many members of the present day class were members during his tenure as our teacher. We are a bible focused class but are embarking upon a six week study of a text on Dietrich Bonhoeffer starting now. We are blessed to have many long term members of First Scots but welcome all to join our active group of members. We are couples, singles, widows and widowers. I would note that very little home work is required but we do enjoy our substantial discussions. Please do come join us. We are currently using the study: The Great Ends of the Church.

This class is for people who like in-depth study of topics relevant to Christians. Our class is conducted like a seminar, but without required reading assignments. Come-as-you-are works well. For the past several years, we have read our way through transcripts of various Great Courses from The Teaching Company. We specifically do NOT simply watch videos, because that does not promote discussion. Typically, one of the teachers reads a bit at a time from the transcript, perhaps presenting some additional material, and the class jumps in with comments and questions. It generally takes us two or three sessions to work our way through the transcript of a single half-hour lecture. We are currently reading “The Grammar of God”, by Aviya Kushner.

This year we are using “The Bible Project” (www.thebibeproject.com) as our guide – providing an entertaining video summary of each book of the Bible (one per week), its associated history and general themes/lessons for life application. Special topics may be covered from time to time using such external resources as questions from class, news stories, blog posts, podcasts, etc. We are comprised mostly of couples with children from infants to college graduates. Class structure is very conversational from week to week, with a brief lesson and lots of good discussion as class members share related impacts upon their lives and families.
