Friends,
Beginning this Sunday, and continuing for three successive Sundays (May 8, 15, & 22), the Young Adults (20s and 30s) Sunday School class, which has been on hiatus through Holy Week and Easter, returns with a three-course burst: Resurrection, Reconciliation, and Re-Creation. These three classes, which meet at 9:15 in the Miller Conference Room, will take us to the end of the Sunday School year. Each class will be based upon the theme for that day, tied to the readings for that day, and truly applicable to our lives as young adults of faith in Chattanooga. What does Resurrection look like? What does it mean to be Reconciled? How can our recreation be Re-Creation? Please consider joining these fun and informative three classes that will prepare to walk through the Great Fifty Days of Easter and through the summer.
I hope to see a lot of you there.
Yours in Christ,
Bob

Updated Christian Education Schedule
Greetings friends,
The YAMs Sunday school class continues to be a great way to get to think about God, active in our lives each week. Here is the the Schedule for the Young Adult Christian Education Class for the Winter and Spring. As you can see, there are still plenty of places that need folks to volunteer. Please come and join us, as there is no prior necessary information required to enjoy and really get a lot out of each session.
Here is what the rest of the schedule looks like:
Mar 1 The Lord’s Prayer
Mar 8 Prayer
Mar 15 LENTEN SERIES Guests (w/ Bob)
Mar 22 Forgiveness
MAR 29 Reconciliation
Apr 5 Grief
Apr 12 Sacrifice
Apr 19 Grace
APR 26 Friendship
May 3 Revelation
May 10 Sermons and Inspiration
May 17 Definitions of Faith
May 24 Reflection & Our Own Stories
Additionally, here is a brief description of the course:
Especially for Young Adults, ages 20 to 39 . . .
. . . A class that looks at God through various themes, using different media as lenses facilitated by Clay and Sara Gahan. The class meets in Room 102 of St. Paul's Church at 9:15 AM, Sunday mornings.
This exciting new Christian Education offering is aimed specifically at young adults and the way in which they encounter God through a myriad of themes. This semester, the class will engage in a thematic approach to living lives of faith in today’s world. Topics for discussion include epiphany, hope, romance, service and charity, prayer, conflict and war, forgiveness and reconciliation, sacrifice, and friendship. Participants are encouraged to contribute their own opportunity for shared leadership is foremost, as members of the class will be allowed to sign up for a topic and lead the morning’s discussion. Additionally, one will not need to have been present for the previous week’s class to enjoy and fully participate in the current week’s class While the class will undoubtedly offer its members an enjoyable way to be exposed to different authors, poets, composers and directors and to reflect on important Christian themes together, the major hope for the class is for young adults of the church to have the opportunity to take part in a lively and thoughtful dialogue about the joys and challenges of listening to and glorifying God in our 21st century adult lives.
Please come as you are — no outside preparation is necessary and breakfast treats will be provided!
Clay Gahan is an upper school English teacher at the McCallie School. Sara Hume Gahan teaches English at the Girls Preparatory School.
Thanks and I hope to see everyone there!
Yours in Christ,

Update to Christian Education Schedule
Greetings friends,
We are in the midst of a change for this Sunday's meeting of the Young Adults' Sunday School Class.
First of all, Clay and Sarah, our faithful facilitators will be unavoidably out of town.
Secondly, there is an Outreach Fair going on at the same time in the courtyard - right out of our meeting room's window. All of the other Adult Christian Education offerings have cancelled to be a part of this Outreach Fair. While I certainly think that the YAMs are already a part of Outreach, I do not want to be seen as being elitist.
So, I propose that we just meet on Sunday for a little while and then journey together to the Outreach Fair. During this brief meeting, we will have some of the usual check-in time, I will be sure that everyone has the readings for next week and we will pick up where we left off. Perhaps we could even read both stories (Raymond Carver's "A Small Good Thing" and Annie Dillard's "The Deer at Providencia" and "A Field of Silence") and be prepared to talk about them both on Oct. 19th. I will have all of these readings to hand out on Sunday, at the usually scheduled time. I would post them on this page, but that would put me in violation of copyright laws.
I am sorry about this decision and the tardiness of it, but I fear that all of these factors necessitated it. But, perhaps this would be a good way for those who have not ventured into the realm of this course to join us for a new beginning on Oct. 19th. If this describes you, please find me on Sunday for a copy of the readings and know that you are welcome on the 19th.
Yours humbly in Christ,
Bob
